Bruneau Cowboy Christmas relocates to Quey's Farm for 2026 event

The 27th Annual Bruneau Cowboy Christmas has changed locations for its 2026 run. The event, which has operated for 27 years, will now take place at Quey's Farm. This site is situated along Highway 78 near Bruneau Dunes State Park. The move provides additional space for vendors, shoppers, and vehicle parking.

Organizers confirmed that more than 200 vendors will participate in this year's gathering. Stock offerings include handmade jewelry, pottery, leather goods, and Western clothing. The market also features antiques, Christmas decorations, and unique gifts. Food options consist of food trucks, wineries, mobile bars, and the event's signature build-your-own Bloody Mary bar.

Attendance numbers indicate a wide geographic reach. Organizers state that shoppers have traveled from all 50 states and Canada to attend in previous years. The event is scheduled for November 6 through November 8, 2026. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Sunday hours are shorter, running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Admission costs vary by age and status. Adults 12 and older pay $5. Visitors can pay $2 with a nonperishable food donation. Military personnel pay $2. Children 12 and under enter for free. Parking costs $10 per vehicle, and the pass is valid for all three days of the event.

The new venue sits near Bruneau Dunes State Park. The park is hosting special evening astronomy programs on Friday and Saturday nights. These programs allow attendees to visit the shopping event during the day and observe the night sky afterward.

For tickets and additional details, the official Bruneau Cowboy Christmas website is the primary source of information. The shift to Quey's Farm marks a logistical change for the long-running Idaho tradition. The expanded footprint aims to accommodate the high volume of visitors who have supported the event for nearly three decades.
