Event Details

Kick off spring time fun at the annual Durango Bluegrass Meltdown. There will be loads of bands, food, venues and entertainment through town and along the Animas River. Friday night, there will be free concert for everyone to enjoy, followed by hours of concerts at night. During the Meltdown, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to jam with other musicians – in hallways, on sidewalks, and many other locations. Don’t play? Relax and enjoy the scene!

The Durango Arts Center, Wildhorse Saloon, and and other popular venues all provide outstanding venues to listen to bluegrass artists from across the country.

The Meltdown has something for everyone – including young folks! From our Bluegrass in the Schools program, to children’s workshops and the Old Time Barn Dance, there’s a lot for the younger set to do. Kids 12 and under are FREE!
