The Country's Largest Party in a Hayfield

Welcome to Country Fest – “The Country’s Largest Party in a Hayfield!” Since our inception in 1987 in the picturesque setting of Cadott, Wisconsin, we’ve been the heart and soul of summer fun for country music lovers. Celebrated as the largest 3-Day Country Music & Camping Event in the US, our festival has been a summer staple, drawing fans back year after year.

Get ready for three action-packed days of boot-stompin’ music, finger-lickin’ food, and barn loads of interactive exhibits. With over 7,500 campsites all within walking distance from the concert hustle and bustle, we’re talking about camping convenience at its finest. For those who prefer the comfort of a hotel, we offer convenient daily shuttle services from nearby locations.

Country Fest isn’t your average music shindig – we’ve got the works. With our permanent infrastructure, and over 23 miles of gravel roads, we bring you an experience that’s leagues above the rest.

So, gather ’round, folks! This is where music meets the wild spirit of the great American outdoors. It’s a celebration of community, good vibes, and that famous Midwestern hospitality under open skies. So grab your boots, round up your friends, and dive into the hayfield – Country Fest is calling, and you don’t want to miss this party!
