This is the music event of the summer in Northern New Mexico. On Sunday, September 5th, Taos Mountain Music Festival is featuring Warren Haynes with his prolific band Gov't Mule along with a full lineup of great music throughout the day.

Big riffs, massive grooves, and expansive improvisations are the hallmarks of Gov't Mule's legendary live shows.

This outdoor festival in Taos Ski Valley is situated on four acres of fenced land with the beautiful backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and surrounded by national forest. The gates open at 10am and festival attendees are urged to arrive early and claim your spot for the day to enjoy a full day of music and entertainment. Once settled, festival-goers can enjoy "Strawberry Fair" the festival's marketplace. They can check out circus entertainers, shop for crafts from local artisans and sample food from top area vendors and restaurants. For just $5, kids can enter the "Kidzone" and go wild in the jumpy castle, get their faces painted, play games, even learn to play the drums. This Labor Day weekend Taos Ski Valley will host activities for all to enjoy all weekend long including "Movies in the Mountains", guided hikes to Wheeler Peak (the tallest peak in New Mexico) and live bands in bars surrounding the festival grounds.
