CavernFest is a family event happening every June in the MainStreet district of Carlsbad NM. From our beginning in 2016, CavernFest has continued to grow bigger and more diverse every year. CavernFest is host to dozens of food trucks, vendors, and attractions and admission is always free thanks to the generous partnerships in our community and the overwhelming support of the City of Carlsbad and Eddy County. CavernFest is also a hub for local organizations to host their events and fundraisers such as corn hole tournaments, raffles, and volleyball. The main attraction of CavernFest is the great live music. Over the years the CavernFest stage has been home to Little Texas, Shenandoah, Randy Rogers Band, Holly Tucker, Curtis Grimes, and many more. CavernFest also is a place for local bands to showcase the talent we have right here in southeast NM. At CavernFest there is something for the whole family!

Carlsbad MainStreet is a Non-Profit organization whose mission is to strengthen our district as the center of our community through concentrated efforts in organization, promotion, design, and economic vitality. Our vision is to make Downtown Carlsbad a lively, vibrant place where people can shop, eat, and find entertainment on weekdays, weekends, and evenings.
CavernFest isn't just Carlsbad MainStreet's signature event—it's a vibrant celebration of community spirit, local talent, and the heartbeat of downtown Carlsbad. Since its inception in 2016, this family-friendly festival has grown into our largest annual fundraiser, featuring live music, food trucks, vendors, and various attractions that draw residents and visitors alike.
Thanks to the unwavering support of our generous sponsors and community partners, CavernFest has enabled us to reinvest over $20,000 into downtown revitalization efforts, including facade improvement grants for local merchants.
But we can't do it alone.
