WELCOME to the 11th annual THIRSTY EAR FESTIVAL! New Mexico's premier roots music festival features dozens of blues, folk, bluegrass, alt-country, roots rock & world music artists on 4 stages all weekend long. Plus camping, kids' activities, zydeco dance lessons, small-batch NM microbrews & wine, healthy local food, arts & crafts, educational demonstrations, sustainable energy exhibits & more.

WHAT TO EXPECT & WHAT TO BRING: The festival takes place at an Old West movie ranch where more than 100 westerns have been filmed—an entirely unique setting. There's plenty of opportunity for a cool drink in the saloon and to get out of the sun, but the main stage is outdoors. So remember to bring lawn chairs (full size is fine), sunscreen, blankets, umbrellas, warm clothes for the evening, and anything else you might need for an outdoor event. We do not allow tents or anything that might obstruct the view, coolers, alcohol, glass, flash cameras or pets. You can bring in food, but must leave coolers in your car (you will have open access to your car in the adjoining lot). We care about our patrons' health; the festival is a non-smoking event. Like any festival, our lineup is subject to change.

Check out these Thirsty Ear youtube videos with Bela Fleck & Toumani Diabate, The Flatlanders, Junior Brown, Shemekia Copeland, Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks, more.
