Ruidoso Calendar — RUIDOSO BLUES FEST

Ruidoso’s Mountain of Blues Festival

Ruidoso Mountain of Blues Incorporated is dedicated to keeping the musical tradition of Live Blues alive and kicking in Ruidoso, New Mexico. From their humble beginnings in the summer of 1998, the Ruidoso Mountain of Blues Festival is now one of the Southwest’s most respected and anticipated annual Live Blues Events. National touring artists regularly headline the show backed up by a regular cast of great regional acts. This combination makes for a quality live blues concert experience previously unseen or unheard for that matter high desert town of Ruidoso New Mexico! The Mountain Blues Jam takes place on schedule every June in Ruidoso ... so mark you calendar!

Gates open typically open at 10:00 AM and the music begins around Noon and plays right through 8:30 PM! What a great afternoon and evening this makes … Plenty of delicious local food, beverage vendors and great tunes. This event is friendly with kid’s activities available during the event like a fantastic moon bounce and other play areas. Bring the little ones and keep the Blues alive for the next generation! After the Mountain of Blues Fest itself the live music continues around Ruidoso! A short walk from the festival puts you in the front door of Win, Place and Show or The Quarters, two local bars where the blues continue to flow to the wee hours.
