Stay at Walnut Canyon Cabins & Experience Luckenbach’s Blues Festival
If you’ve been thinking about a Hill Country getaway this winter, now is the time to act! Tickets for the Luckenbach Blues Festival are the kind you don’t wait on and on sale now. The 19th Annual Luckenbach Blues Festival, happening January 17, 2026, is one of those events people plan trips around, and this year is especially exciting.
We’re thrilled that this year’s festival honors Marcia Ball, the five-time GRAMMY-nominated Texas music legend. Carl and I absolutely love her and have been lucky enough to see her perform live, her energy, her piano, and that unmistakable Texas blues sound stay with you long after the last note. Knowing this festival celebrates her legacy makes it even more special.
Blues Festival Music Lineup
• Kelly’s Lot
• Soul Wagon
• Calloway and the Prickly Pears
• Ben Beckendorf Band
• Aaron Stephens
The festival also supports HOME: Housing Opportunities for Musicians and Entertainers. This is a nonprofit Marcia founded to help aging Central Texas musicians stay housed, healthy, and heard. It’s music with heart, and you can feel that purpose throughout the day.
Luckenbach is pure Texas, it’s live music drifting under old oak trees, the historic dance hall buzzing, the General Store and Saloon welcoming everyone in. Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson put Luckenbach on the map, and that legacy is alive in every performance.
Staying at Walnut Canyon Cabins puts you just a short drive away from all of it, while giving you a quiet place to unplug afterward. January weekends book quickly, especially around events like this.
Our advice: grab your tickets and book your cabin. Make the Luckenbach Blues Festival part of your Hill Country getaway and let us take care of the rest. We can’t wait to welcome you!
