Ballroom Marfa invites you to PICNIC with us—
We’re bringing together an adventurous mix of contemporary musicians, performers, and visual artists and setting their work against the expansive landscape in Marfa.
The weekend will unfold across town, from Capri Marfa to Bull Room, the former cattle auction barn we’ve transformed into a performing arts space. PICNIC centers on an intimate, community-driven atmosphere where we’ll experience live music together in the Chihuahuan desert.
We invite locals and visitors alike to gather, connect, and experience music, sound, and art…
