A Living Tradition
“The Last Escape of Billy the Kid” is one of the last remaining folk pageants in the U.S. performed entirely by local volunteers—many of whom are descendants of the original cast. Experience the gunfights, betrayals, and bravery that shaped Lincoln County’s history, from the killing of John Tunstall to the Battle of Blazer’s Mill and Billy’s daring courthouse escape.
