Venue
Located at the north end of Buffalo, Wyoming, the Johnson County Fairgrounds feature a unique and inspiring venue for the acoustic, americana, folk, old-timey, bluegrass & traditional music featured at the Big Horn Mountain Festival. Within a short distance of the fairgrounds sits the town of Buffalo, known for its small-town hospitality and Western flair. Come dance the weekend away at the foot of the beautiful Big Horn Mountains.

Showcase Stage
The main stage will be located on the north side of the fairgrounds.  Please remember it's festival seating, so bring blankets, chairs and other items to make yourselves comfortable for the show.

Workshops
Will be located in various Fairground buildings.  See the Bulletin Board schedule at the event for the locations.

Pancake Breakfast
There will be a pancake breakfast Saturday and Sunday morning in the Community Building.  The price is right, the cakes are good, and it's a fund raiser for our local SKILLS USA Club.  So come on by for a cup of coffee and some griddle cakes.

Weather
While we hope the sun is out and the temperatures are perfect, those of us living in the area know that just about anything can happen in early July.  So our best advice is - Be Prepared - because the show will go on.  Check out your favorite weather website for current weather information.

Restrooms
Permanent restrooms with handicapped access are in the Community Building.  Additional permanent and portable restrooms and hand washing stations will be placed on the grounds

Shade
There are shade trees in the camping area and some others around the edge of the Fairgrounds, and quite a few buildings that you can seek sun relief.  However, much of the fairgrounds is open, so if you are concerned about too much sun, prepare accordingly.

Festival Rules and Etiquette

Dogs - Our faithful friends are welcome as long as they are on a leash in the camping areas at all times and accompanied by their owners.  Dogs are strictly prohibited in the festival area and in the horse show area.  If your dog barks, we suggest that you contact a local kennel so everyone may enjoy the event; if your dog becomes a nuisance, you may be asked to leave.  We hope there are no problems with this, as we would hate to have to ban all dogs in the future.

Wristbands
Must be worn in campground and festival areas at all times.

Glass
No glass containers in festival areas.  Please monitor your camp so there are no accidents.

Other
Please help us keep the area clean; picking up your trash and cigarette butts will be greatly appreciated.

Obstructing views
Again, we are all here to enjoy the performances.  Please do not block your neighbor's view with umbrellas or other large items.

Livestock
This is a county fairgrounds, therefore large animals may be on the grounds. PLEASE monitor your kids so they stay away from any livestock. With the excitement and activity, their behavior (the animals!) may be unpredictable, and we sure don't want anyone injured

Fun
We hope you enjoy this festival, and we welcome your suggestions to make it even better next year!

WELCOME TO THE BIG HORNS!!!
