About the Short Grass Festival:

Cimarron's ShortGrass Music Festival grew out of a wish to enjoy live music without leaving town.  It is now a nonprofit organization with a commitment to bringing fine music to local venues for audiences of all backgrounds and ages.  Free community concerts and support for area schools through interactive performance workshops and scholarships are part of this vision.

The generosity of our contributors allows the ShortGrass Music Festival to offer outstanding music performances in scenic Cimarron, New Mexico.  It also makes possible the performance workshop and scholarship program begun in 2007 for Colfax County students.  Sponsors will be recognized in our concert programs.  All donations are tax deductable to the extent provided by law.
