Great artists are featured across multiple venues, but will never overlap, so you don't have to miss a note! The festival kicks off with a BBQ dinner and a concert, set lakeside at Bitter Creek Ranch. Each night wraps with music at the historic Motherlode Saloon. Rise and shine on Friday for Bloody Mary Morning at the Motherlode Saloon. Then move to Brandenburg Park for more great music alongside the best BBQ & chili cooks from across the Southwest proving their skills and competing for cash, prizes, and bragging rights - sign up at the Conference Center to be a judge! Each evening we finish the day with shows at the Motherlode Saloon outdoor stage.
