Shoppers planning a weekend trip to Bruneau need a new address for the 27th Annual Bruneau Cowboy Christmas. The event, which has operated in Idaho for 27 years, is moving to Quey's Farm this weekend. The new site is located at 48803 Highway 78, near Bruneau Dunes State Park.
Organizers state the move provides additional room for vendors and attendees. More than 200 vendors will occupy the space, selling handmade jewelry, pottery, leather goods, and Western clothing. The market also features antiques, Christmas decorations, and unique gifts. Visitors can also access food trucks, wineries, mobile bars, and the event's signature build-your-own Bloody Mary bar.
The event runs from November 6 to 8, 2026. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Admission costs $5 for visitors aged 12 and older. Attendees can pay $2 with a nonperishable food donation. Military personnel pay $2, and children 12 and under enter for free. Parking costs $10 per vehicle, with the pass valid for all three days.
Organizers report that shoppers have traveled from all 50 states and Canada to attend the market over the years. The location near Bruneau Dunes State Park offers an added activity for visitors. The state park is hosting special evening astronomy programs on Friday and Saturday nights.
This change marks the first time the event has used Quey's Farm. The site replaces the previous location for this year's holiday season. The event continues its tradition of offering a non-mall shopping experience. The market remains a popular destination for those seeking unique holiday items and Western-themed entertainment.
The shift to a larger farm setting aims to reduce congestion. The expanded parking area allows for more vehicle access. The layout supports the high volume of foot traffic expected during the holiday season. The event maintains its focus on local artisans and direct sales. Shoppers can browse at their own pace without the pressure of retail store aisles.
For those interested in attending, the official Bruneau Cowboy Christmas website lists current details and ticket options. The event runs for three days. The final day concludes on Sunday afternoon. The nearby state park remains open for visitors who wish to extend their stay. The combination of shopping and outdoor activities defines the weekend experience.
