Montreal hosts an impressive amount of events in the summer, especially when it comes to music. But one thing the city had been lacking was a little bit of country.
Until now.
Today, Evenko announced that a new country music festival will take place “in one of the world’s greatest festival cities” on August 15 and 16 at Parc Jean-Drapeau.
