New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The three-day-long country music celebration developed and produced by Visit Las Cruces and the City of Las Cruces is celebrating its seventh year, and has established itself as one of Las Cruces and New Mexico's premier events.

The 7th Annual Las Cruces Country Music Festival https://www.lascrucescountrymusic.com/ will highlight the City of Crosses for another legendary weekend of country fun this October 11, 12, & 13 and the star-studded lineup promises three days of toe-tapping music on two stages.

The Festival kicks off on Friday, October 11 with Main Stage acts: Big & Rich with Cowboy Troy, Casey Donahew, and Frank Ray. The trio has accounted for dozens of country hits and awards including Big & Rich's "Save A Horse (Ride a Cowboy)", "Lost in This Moment", "Wild West Show", "That's Why I Pray", "Holy Water" and many more.

On Saturday night, the festivities continue with country stars Gretchen Wilson, Ronnie Milsap, and Jessie G. Gretchen Wilson, a Grammy Award-winning recipient, has charted country hits like "Redneck Woman", "Here for the Party", "All Jacked Up" and several others. Six-time Grammy Awards winner and Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Ronnie Milsap had success in the 1970s and 1980s and is recognized as an influential "crossover" artist incorporating sounds of R&B, pop, and rock into his country music. Milsap has had an impressive thirty-one #1 hits on Country radio from 1973 to 1989. Milsap's hits include "It Was Almost Like a Song", "Lost in the Fifties Tonight", "Stranger in my House", and an ode to the area from which he hails, "Smokey Mountain Range," among others.

Sunday will feature regional artists, as well as a performance by the First Female Artist to perform with Mariachis on the Grand Ole Opry, Stephanie Urbina Jones and the Honky Tonk Mariachis.
