There are few summer traditions quite like piling into a car with your friends, a tent in the trunk and a playlist full of country anthems.
Whether you’re a die-hard bluegrass fan or just here for the fried food and fireworks, country music festivals are where the genre’s biggest names and most dedicated fans come together.
From the bustling streets of Nashville to the peaceful pines of Alberta, these fests showcase more than just music. They’re weekend-long (sometimes four-day) events filled with camaraderie, camping and a whole lot of cowboy boots.
