Bruneau Cowboy Christmas 2026 Moves to New Location

If you’re ready to get a jump on your Christmas shopping and would rather find something unique than fight the crowds at the mall, I’ve got a little road trip you might want to consider this weekend.

For 27 years, Bruneau Cowboy Christmas has been bringing shoppers together for one of Idaho’s favorite holiday shopping traditions. This year, they’re making a pretty big change, and it could make the event even better!

Bruneau Cowboy Christmas Has a New Home

The 27th Annual Bruneau Cowboy Christmas happens November 6–8, but returning visitors need to know that the event has moved to Quey’s Farm, located along Highway 78 near Bruneau Dunes State Park.

The new location offers more room for vendors, shoppers and parking and when I say vendors, we’re talking more than 200 of them!

You’ll find everything from handmade jewelry, pottery and leather goods to Western clothing, antiques, Christmas decorations and one-of-a-kind gifts you probably won’t find at the mall.

There will also be plenty of food trucks, wineries, mobile bars and the event’s famous build-your-own Bloody Mary bar.

Organizers say shoppers have traveled from all 50 states and even Canada to attend over the years.
