Zia Festival held at Ruidoso Downs Race Track and Casino is located in the cool pines of Ruidoso, NM. This year the track has doubled the size of the event. This event will feature artists, crafters, and various other vendors. Zia Fest is being held during live racing weekend. There are several thousand people who attend the races each weekend. We have a large commercial tent for our vendors, free kids activities, and face painting. This is the 37th year for the Zia Futurity and Zia Festival. We have grown from fewer than 10 artist and vendors, currently we have over 70 vendor spaces filled. Admission is free as well as the kids activities.
