Red River, New Mexico

2009 PHOTOS

This three day event combines live music with Larry Joe Taylor & Friends, then multiple cook-offs in the park on Saturday 8/21. Music venues all over town like the top of the Red River Ski Area, along the Red River, Brandenburg Park, and the historic Motherlode Saloon.

Each year this event grows in size, and this year will be no different.  In addition to the stellar lineup of musicians, we've added the New Mexico Green Chile Championship and a Lone Star BBQ Society cook-off to the ever-expanding CASI "Red River Red" chili cook-off.  Read more about the cook-offs here.

Take a scenic chair lift ride to the top of the Red River Ski Area and catch a concert surrounded by the most breathtaking scenery in the southern Rockies. Enjoy the calming sounds of the Red River while you relax with an acoustic "songwriter show."  Put on your dancin' shoes and get ready for a two-steppin' good time during an evening concert at the historic Motherlode Saloon.

Music fans love this event because of the "up close and personal" concert venues and the unique access to world-class singers and songwriters.  It is not uncommon to see renowned musicians sitting around the fireplace at the Lodge, pickin' and strummin', sharing their gifts with everyone around.  Bring your guitar and hop in on the action.  How many of your friends can say they've played with a legend?


Look for the 2010 schedule to be posted in July!
