Old Town Newhall Santa Clarita’s rich Western heritage takes center stage each year at the Cowboy Festival. This year marks the 24th annual event. In 1994, the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival made its debut, honoring the authentic Old West through music, poetry, cowboy gear, food and storytelling in a setting that was unique to the area…and the rest is history! This year’s Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival is guaranteed to delight attendees of all ages. Due to filming taking place at Melody Ranch Motion Picture Studio, the Cowboy Festival has set up camp in Historic Old Town Newhall. Show-stopping performances by the best musical acts in Western, Bluegrass, Americana and Spoken Word genres will be held at the Canyon Theater Guild and The Repertory East Playhouse. The Cowboy Festival comes to life on Saturday, April 22 10:00am to 7:00pm, and Sunday, April 23 10:00am – 6:00pm with the sights, sounds and swagger of Cowboy life at William S. Hart Park Event Area. Attendees will be surrounded by life on the American Frontier as performers serenade, vendors serve up BBQ treats, and vendors offer one-of-a-kind gear and goods celebrating the Western past with the flair of today. Volunteers ages 10-14 will be needed to take food orders from vendors, deliver food, keep food court area clean, and more. |
