Dusty Vaquero Days

A Celebration of Cowboy Heritage!

Dusty Vaquero Days brings the spirit of the Old West roaring back to life. Held in a small but proud Western town, this beloved event celebrates the rich history and enduring legacy of vaqueros - the original cowboys of the American Southwest.

"It's such a unique and cool experience. There's a kinship amongst friends and artists here that you don't get to see very often and I think that's what makes it so special." -Hayden Redwine

"Dusty Vaquero Days felt like being home. I hope to see it become a longstanding tradition." - Raina Wallace

"I definitely had a good time and everything seemed to run smoothly even though it was the very first one. I can't imagine what this thing's gonna grow into in the next couple of years. It's also nice to have basically all my friends in one place and have somewhat of a family reunion." - Brennan Greene

Dusty Vaquero Days full of the bumps, bruises and growing pains that any first year festivals goes through. It was also full of magical moments. A swarm of kids in their 20's screaming back every word of Dave Stameys songs as he danced on stage. A couple of 6th generation ranch kids getting to introduce their dad on stage before he rocked out. Fans getting to meet their favorite musicians and also finding new ones they hadn't heard of. It was a celebration of working cowboys and music they create. We learned many things and next year will be bigger and better - Jake Zielke
