Country fans are passionate about music and what better way to celebrate the great talent that we have, than having some of our best artists perform in the heart of Co.

The event presents an exciting opportunity for all country music fans and we are delighted to have the support of Harp Lager and the commitment of such great acts. This festival is a great boost for, and investment in, Augher and its surrounding communities and I’m looking forward to enjoying the craic with the eclectic mix of fans that will converge in Co.
