Overview
About
This country music festival takes place each summer in the Qu'Appelle Valley near Craven, Saskatchewan. Founded in 1983 as the Big Valley Jamboree, it became the Craven Country Jamboree in 2005 before joining the Country Thunder festival network in 2016. The site also hosts the Gopher Run, a queue where attendees bring their own chairs to claim front row spots near the stage.
