Arizona Artists Take the Stage at June Country Fest in Rocky Point

There’s something special happening just south of the border this June… and it’s got Arizona written all over it.

From June 12–14, 2026, the shores of Rocky Point, Mexico will come alive as AZDCMA artists and Arizona’s country music community take center stage at June Country Fest, hosted at the stunning Esmeralda Beach Resort.

This isn’t just another festival weekend.

This is Arizona talent taking over Rocky Point for a three-day celebration of live music, community, and the country lifestyle — all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sea of Cortez.

🎶 AZDCMA Artists Leading the Weekend

At AZDCMA, our mission has always been to spotlight and support the incredible artists building Arizona’s country music scene.

  • Kristen Merlin
  • Last Train to Juarez
  • Lacey Rashea
  • Matt Farris

⭐ Special Featured Traveling Artist: James Otto

Joining our Arizona artists for this unforgettable weekend is special Nashville singer-songwriter James Otto.

Known nationally for his powerhouse vocals and chart-topping songwriting, James Otto is best known for his Billboard Country 2008 Single of the Year, Just Got Started Lovin’ You — a song that became a major hit and remains a fan favorite across the country music world.

His appearance in Rocky Point brings a major Nashville spotlight to a weekend already fueled by Arizona talent.

With Nashville’s Bigg Vinny emceeing the festivities, this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting destination country events of the year.
