RED RIVER FOLK FESTIVAL
at Aspencade
September 22-24, 2022
This boutique festival returns in 2022 completely under the Red River Events umbrella. Red River Folk Festival takes place across three days and three venues in and around Red River, NM, during the anticipated aspens' changing to their autumn colors. Returning to Red River's Folk and Americana roots, we look forward to bringing you both emerging artists and nationally touring acts.
FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE
One Festival. Three Venues.



Brandenburg Park
Located in the middle of town, Brandenburg Park is where all Friday and Saturday daytime music will take place, alongside a favorite annual event known as Aspencade. Aspencade features handmade crafts, jewelry, home furnishings, food, art, pottery, and specialty booths.
Bitter Creek Ranch
Located a few miles from town, Bitter Creek Ranch is an outdoor amphitheater set against a beautiful mountain backdrop and private lake. This is where we'll kick off the festival on Thursday night. September is a particularly magical time to visit BCR as the aspen trees are changing to their fall colors.
Motherlode Saloon
Located several blocks from Brandenburg Park, and next door to our fourth, unofficial venue, the Lost Love inside Texas Reds, the historic Motherlode is where we'll wrap each evening. This storied dance hall is one of the Southwest's last great honky-tonks.
