The 39th Annual Marfa Lights Festival, a musical celebration of our beloved Far West Texas community, and an opportunity for Marfans to reunite with family and friends, will take place Labor Day weekend — this year’s festival will take place Friday, September 4, to Sunday, September 6.

Attendees can look forward to a diverse lineup of musical talent, including performances by Assalto, Jaime DeAnda, Conjunto 87, Tex Mex Hippies, Zodiacal and La Nuva Fuerza. A Marfa Lights Festival Dance with Aquario caps off the weekend on Sunday at the Marfa Activities Center (MAC) Building. 

The annual parade starts at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.

The festival is free for all ages, with the exception of the dance, which is $15 per person or $20 for couples.

Stay tuned for more activities and an exact schedule of times.
