A Message from the Blues Fest Organizers

Ruidoso Mountain of Blues Incorporated is dedicated to keeping the musical tradition of Live Blues alive and kicking in Ruidoso, New Mexico. From our humble beginnings in the summer of 1998, the Ruidoso Mountain of Blues Festival has grown into one of the Southwest’s most respected and anticipated annual Live Blues Events. National touring artists regularly headline our events supported by a great cast of regional acts … making for a quality live musical show previously unseen … or heard for that matter … in the high desert of New Mexico!  

We have been fortunate to find a permanent event location in Midtown Ruidoso at the 10-acre Village Green Space … right in the heart of our beautiful mountain village. And this year, it is with great pride that we celebrate our Tenth Anniversary. So, come and be part of this wonderful tradition at the 11th Annual Ruidoso Mountain of Blues Festival.
