El Paso LOVES monster trucks. Every year when Monster Jam rolls through town, it’s always a big deal. Whether it’s for a Monster Jam event at the Sun Bowl stadium, or in this case, just a pop up around town, we love seeing the monsters in the Sun City. Especially the iconic…Grave Digger.
Where is Grave Digger going to be in El Paso this weekend?
As these photos show, the Stars & Stripes Grave Digger was seen at Walmart on Thursday as part of the Monster Jam Road Trip. That’s where Monster Jam will do a pop up at a chosen Walmart store in the state & city shown on their website. Here families can take photos of the big black & green (red, white & blue too) wrecking machine while it’s on display. This was Day 1 of Grave Digger visiting El Paso; the 7841 N Desert Blvd location.

Friday, September 4th, 3pm to 7pm at 4530 Woodrow Bean, El Paso, TXSaturday, September 5th, 10am to 2pm at 10727 Gateway Blvd W, El Paso, TXSunday, September 6th, 10am to 2pm at 13900 Horizon Blvd, El Paso, TX
Grave Digger is also set to make an appearance in several more Texas cities from September 10th through the 20th.
Has Grave Digger visited El Paso before?
Oh…MANY times. In fact it’s one of the monster trucks that’s made appearances to El Paso pretty much every time since we became a regular stop on the Monster Jam tour back in the 90s. I myself have been to several Monster Jam events since I’ve been a little kid.
Apparently one of my photos helped solve a unique case of Monster Jam lost media, which you can read about here.
