The Mesilla Valley Jazz & Blues Festival is happening at the Mesilla Plaza this weekend, and Madelyn’s is proud to be a sponsor!

We also have some fantastic bands lined up at Madelyn’s throughout the weekend, so be sure to stop by, enjoy some great live music, delicious food, desserts, and our Beer, Wine & Full Selection of Spirits.

AND SAVE THE DATE!

Madelyn’s is celebrating our 2-Year Anniversary on Friday, October 16th! It’s hard to believe it has already been two years since we opened our doors. What started as a dream has grown into something so special, and we truly could not have done it without the incredible support of our community, our loyal customers, and all the new faces who continue to discover Madelyn’s.

We are incredibly grateful for every visit, every kind word, and every person who has supported us along the way. Thank you for helping Madelyn’s grow and for being such an important part of our first two years.

We hope you’ll celebrate this special day with us! We’ll have three bands performing throughout the day, along with lots of food and drink specials. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
