The Thirsty Ear Festival

The Thirsty Ear Festival

North central region of New MexicoThirsty Ear Festival - What started as a small but hearty band of roots-music lovers getting together for a couple of nights of performances in 1999 has turned into a weekend event filled with bands from all over the country and revelers from all over the world. The get together is cast in the finest traditions of grass roots festivals; it started very small, has steadily grown in popularity, has increased the quality and quantity of its musical offerings, retains a loyal following, and gets better every year.

The Festival is held annually on Labor Day Weekend at the Eaves Movie Ranch, just outside Santa Fe. The movie ranch is like walking into a 19th century western town and has been the setting for numerous motion pictures. In addition to three days of internationally acclaimed roots music on three stages all weekend long, the festival offers camping, tasty BBQ, local microbrews, fine wine, and crafts. Face painting, arts & crafts, puppet shows and other kids' activities will be hosted by the Santa Fe Children's Museum and Pink Elephant Theater.

New Mexico's premier roots music festival also features three stages of folk, blues, Cajun, zydeco, roots rock, bluegrass & alt-country artists.
