MWCMA members and country music fans…this is OUR night to shine! 🏆✨
… this is a lot of text because this is a BIG deal 🙌🏽

Last year gave us memories to cherish. This November 7, let’s fill the room again to celebrate the artists, songs, and people who make the Mountain West country music scene something special.

The 2026 Mountain West Country Music Awards at The Antlers in Colorado Springs brings us together for so much more than an awards presentation. Your ticket includes:

🥂 Cocktail hour to connect with fellow members, artists, and fans
🍽️ A three-course plated dinner
🎶 Featured live artist performances
🏆 The 2026 awards presentation—be there as this year’s winners are announced!
🤠 A 60- 90 minute live country dance set with Rhett Haney

Dinner, performances, awards, and dancing…all in one ticket. It’s an evening to dress up, cheer for your favorites, reconnect with friends and the Mountain West scene, and celebrate everything we’re building together.

📣And Mountain West Country Fest is for ALL of us! Make a weekend of it with multiple days of concerts, dancing, and western culture. Festival concerts continue during the ceremony, followed by the festival finale concert afterward. (Members, you get a huge discount or free access with volunteer shift sign up!)

🎟️ Awards tickets and festival passes are sold separately. A festival pass does not include the awards dinner or ceremony.

Members, nominees, friends, and fans: your presence makes this night special. Come celebrate the music you love and the people behind it.
