FRIDAY, JULY 3

MUSIC + DRONE SHOW

Admission: Free and open to the public
Location: Mountain View Event Center

This is the night that sets the tone for the entire Fourth of July weekend in Angel Fire.

Head to the Mountain View Event Center for an unforgettable evening of live music, mountain views, and a one-of-a-kind drone light show. With wide-open space, cool summer air, and an electric atmosphere, it’s the kind of night you’ll talk about long after the weekend is over.

Gates Open: 5:00 PM

Live Music Lineup:
Radioblast | 5:30 – 7:00 PM

Revisiting Creedence | 7:30 – 9:00 PM

As the sun begins to set, the energy builds for the main event. Revisiting Creedence takes the stage, bringing the legendary sound of Creedence Clearwater Revival to life with an authenticity and energy that gets the whole crowd on their feet.

From Bad Moon Rising to Fortunate Son and Have You Ever Seen the Rain, this is a full-throttle celebration of classic rock—set against the backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It’s nostalgic, it’s high-energy, and it’s the perfect way to kick off your Independence Day weekend.

Drone Light Show: 9:10 PM

And just when you think the night can’t get any better, the sky comes alive.

Watch as hundreds of synchronized drones light up the Moreno Valley in a choreographed aerial display celebrating Independence Day and America’s 250th anniversary. Set to music and visible across the valley, it’s a modern, awe-inspiring twist on a holiday tradition—and an experience you won’t want to miss.

What to Expect:
• Beer garden featuring Blu Dragonfly Brewery, Downshift Brewery, and Nuckolls Brewing
• Food vendors and artisan booths
• Kid Zone and family activities
• Plenty of room to dance, relax, and take it all in
