Over the past year, fans of Boots and Hearts Music Festival have responded overwhelmingly positive to the genre's classic and iconic artists such as Alan Jackson; who performed at the festival in 2018. This year the event producers have developed a Canadian platform for a traditional country style festival. Attendees can expect a full day of fun including a classic car show, craft marketplace that showcases local artisans, as well as numerous vendors who will offer an impressive array of food and drink options.
"This summer at Burl's Creek some of the best country musicians will step foot on our stage right here in Oro-Medonte," said Lisa Zechmeister, Director of Booking and Development. "Welcoming artists such as Alabama; a trio who have pioneered the evolution of country music with their 73 million albums sold and notoriety to the Country Music Hall of Fame, to Big Sky is an exciting moment for country music fans across Ontario and neighbouring provinces."
