The Durango Bluegrass Meltdown returns for three days of national, regional, and local bluegrass music across five downtown venues, including the Durango Arts Center, Animas City Theatre, and Wild Horse Saloon.

In addition to ticketed concerts, the weekend features several free public events, including a Friday Welcome Concert, Friday Contra Dance, band contest, Saturday Night Barn Dance, and late-night shows.

New this year: exclusive lodging for Meltdown attendees at the General Palmer Hotel, available when tickets are purchased through the Meltdown website.

Tickets are available online and in person at Animas Trading Company (742 Main Ave, Durango).
