countryfest 2017

Countryfest 2017 featured Walker McGuire, Michael Ray, Rodney Atkins, Randy Houser and Justin Moore and they lit the stage up all day with great performances. Check out some of our favorite moments.

A lucky ground of Michael Ray fans got to see the country artist perform an exclusive acoustic set backstage at Countryfest 2017.

Justin Moore headlined Countryfest 2017 and absolutely crushed it on stage! Before going on he met with some fans backstage for an exclusive meet and greet.

Randy Houser put on a great performance at Countryfest 2017 and gave some lucky fans an extra treat by meeting them before heading on stage.

Rodney Atkins took some time out from his busy day at Countryfest 2017 to meet with some lucky fans.

Walker McGuire kicked off the music at Countryfest 2017 on Saturday. Some lucky fans got to meet the young duo.

While you're looking ahead and thinking about what Countryfest 2017 is going to be like, make sure you take a look at the list of things you can and can't bring into the fairgrounds this year plus find out all you need to know about parking and when you can arrive at the Fairgrounds. We want everyone to have a great time but at the end of the day, it's gotta be safe.
