Kick off Dodge City Days at Boot Hill Distillery with live music by experimental folk artist, Tim Nave! Also known as TAKAT or The Artist Known As Tim, the Carter County Tennessee native performs a series of albums inspired by his life and the area of Appalachia where he was raised. His music uses storytelling, acoustic instruments, and a variety of folk genres to bring the tales to life. Tim's album, Bitter As Hell, is a reminder that the stories you don't tell will make you bitter and that it's better to find joy in spite of life.

The 11th annual Canyon Farmers Market will take place every Saturday from 8am-12pm from June 15th to September 28th. This year there will be over 100 vendors, live music, an activity for kids, and food trucks each week. The community is invited to come out and support our local farmers, makers, and bakers.
Join us for July Final Friday, quite possibly the biggest Final Friday of the year! We're bringing back Forrest McCurren, the Missouri artist who writes songs for good people who got bad grades in school, are drunk on dreams, and still trying to figure out if life is sour or sweet.
Come with an appetite! Smell What's Cookin' will be serving their delicious BBQ dishes on the patio.
