❓FAQ
How many days does the festival run?
Blossoms & Bones spans three days, Thursday, September 10 through Saturday, September 12, 2026, opening with a single welcome concert on Thursday before the full lineups on Friday and Saturday.
What are the hours for the concert lawn?
The lawn opens at 4pm each day and music starts shortly after — around 6:30pm on Thursday for the welcome night, and 4:30pm on Friday and Saturday; the gates close at 9pm nightly and no one is admitted after that.
Is camping free or paid?
Camping costs extra on top of the festival pass: the main field is sold out, but Mesa Campground is still available, running from $40 for a single night up to $105 for a two-day RV spot, while glamping in a Bell tent runs as high as $1,600 for three nights.
Is there food available on site?
About fifteen New Mexico food trucks set up at the festival — think Gracias Madre tacos, Poki Tako poke bowls, Taos Cow ice cream — plus Santa Fe Brewing beer and Gruet Winery wine served from 4pm, though campers are still encouraged to bring some of their own food.
Do kids get free admission and dedicated activities?
Kids 14 and under get in free without a ticket when accompanied by a parent, and a free Meow Wolf Creation Station art booth plus face painting run Friday and Saturday from noon to 4pm.
Is the site accessible for guests with reduced mobility?
There's first-come, first-served ADA parking and ADA-compliant portable restrooms, and staff can provide chairs on request for anyone unable to stand, though there's no dedicated ADA viewing area in front of the stage.
Can you count on paying by card everywhere?
Not really — this remote high-desert site can have spotty card connections, so the festival specifically advises bringing cash as backup.
How do you get between the campground and the stage?
Campers staying at Mesa Campground, 1.4 miles from the entrance, get a free continuous shuttle to the festival grounds, with the last ride back at 1am.
Which edition of the festival is 2026?
2026 marks the fourth edition of Blossoms & Bones at Ghost Ranch.
