Shoppers planning to attend the 27th Annual Bruneau Cowboy Christmas this weekend will need to drive to a new site. The event, which has operated in Idaho for 27 years, is moving from its previous location to Quey's Farm. The farm is situated at 48803 Highway 78, near Bruneau Dunes State Park.
The change in venue aims to provide additional capacity for attendees and participants. Organizers state that the new site offers more room for parking and accommodates more than 200 vendors. These sellers offer handmade jewelry, pottery, leather goods, Western clothing, antiques, and holiday decorations.
Food options at the event include multiple food trucks, wineries, and mobile bars. The market also features its long-standing build-your-own Bloody Mary bar. Organizers noted that in previous years, attendees have traveled from all 50 U.S. states and Canada to participate in the shopping tradition.
The event runs from Friday, November 6, through Sunday, November 8. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. General admission for visitors aged 12 and older is $5. A reduced rate of $2 is available for those who bring a nonperishable food donation or for military personnel. Children 12 and under enter for free.
Parking costs $10 per vehicle. This fee covers a pass valid for all three days of the event. Visitors can find additional details and purchase tickets on the official Bruneau Cowboy Christmas website.
Local tourism options nearby include Bruneau Dunes State Park. The park hosts special evening astronomy programs on Friday and Saturday. These programs allow visitors to view the night sky after their shopping day concludes.
