🎸 Live Music This Week in Las Cruces: June 18, 2026

Hello {{First Name|Music Lovers}}

I inadvertently picked up last years schedule and posted it previously. A good case for event venues to date their flyers 🫠 Anyway here is the correct Juneteenth Schedule. My apologies.

There is going to be some incredible music and events for the Juneteenth Jazz Arts Festival. Unless otherwise noted the events will be at the Rio Grande Theatre.

Check out the Mesilla Summer Music Series - Jamie O’Hara at Mesilla Plaza Friday June 19th from 8 - 10 pm. This should be fun! Bring your chairs and friends and enjoy!

This Sunday, June 21st catch the Las Cruces Music in the Park at Young Park starting at 7 pm with Tia Fuller playing Jazz.

Hey everyone, the wait is finally over — The Brew Dock at Marina del Sur on Elephant Butte Lake is officially open this weekend!

I’m excited to spotlight this new waterfront gathering spot. Swing by for craft beer and cider from Brew Lab 101, solid food trucks (Rusty Roots BBQ is there Friday and Saturday), and live music by The Consequences on Saturday from 5-7PM. All while soaking up some of the best lake views around.

Boat or car, everybody’s welcome — you don’t need a boat to enjoy the lake!

Let’s support this new local gem and kick the weekend off right!
