We are saddened to announce the news that this year's Durango Blues Trains in both June and August will be cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We have worked closely with the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad to discuss options and alternatives to host the event in a safe manner but in the end, the restrictions on capacity and strict protocols for the public health and safety make the event too challenging to produce.

Like many of you, we can hardly wait for the day when it is safe to return and gather for live music and events. We miss the beautiful summer nights aboard the Railroad, along with the hair-raising performances, countless smiles, high fives and so much more that words simply can’t describe.

Currently, we are planning a full return to the Durango Blues Train next year in the summer of 2022. Stay tuned for updates about dates, tickets and lineups coming as soon as possible.

It is with deep disappointment and great sadness to share the news that we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel this summer’s Durango Blues Trains. Our humble event has grown over the span of a decade every year since 2011 and while we anticipated celebrating our 10th year on the rails, it has become clear that the only way to meet the challenge of keeping you — our valued train attendees, our staff, and the artists who perform on board — safe is to wait until next year.
