The Red Dirt Black Gold Festival is an opportunity to give back to the hardworking folks in southeast New Mexico, while tipping our hats to the industries that power our region. Thousands of attendees have enjoyed world class musical acts and community activities in Artesia. This year we’re moving back to Texas Street, where we have exciting new things planned. RDBG is now a THREE day event! Starting September 11th with New Mexico Heritage Night, September 12th is Indie Folk Night featuring an eclectic lineup, and finally September 13th with our 10 year anniversary of Red Dirt Black Gold!
