Ridin’ Hearts 2025 brings back everything fans love about the festival experience, delicious food and drink offerings, a variety of market stalls, the Sparkle Station and Line Dancing. The exclusive Diamond Club returns for those looking to elevate their experience, and the iconic Bulldust Bar will be serving up its signature Ride ‘Em Gambler cocktail.
The Lone Spur stage, this year sponsored by Ringers Western, will be rolling in with its signature truck and a brand-new activation that’s still a closely guarded secret, while the Ridin’ Starts Initiative also returns, continuing its mission to support and spotlight emerging talent.
