The 11th Annual Michael Hearne’s Big Barn Dance, historically held at the Old Blinking Light and KTAOS Solar Center, is now coming to Taos Ski Valley. It’s an Americana festival heavy on two-steppin’ — the event, naturally, culminates in a Big Barn Dance, so come prepared to cut a rug.
Catch Taos favorites Michael Hearne, Max Gomez, South by Southwest, The Rifters, and many, many more — alongside country, Americana, and folk artists from around the world — during one of summer’s final weekends in beautiful Taos Ski Valley. Scroll down to see the full schedule!
