Why: Well, the Big Valley Jamboree has grown from an inaugural event in 1993 to a country music institution in Alberta for approximately 75,000 country music fans each year. After a couple of years off because of the pandemic Camrose will come alive again with the sounds of music with the return of one of Canada’s best-loved and longest-running country music festivals this summer. Grand Ole Opry members, Trace Adkins and Dustin Lynch get this year’s BVJ started with a Kick-off Party on Thursday night. But that is just the start as this musical extravaganza is packed with superstar headliners Dallas Smith, Eric Church and Tim McGraw, plus the hottest up-and-comers, Canada’s biggest country stars and classic country acts who have stood the test of time, like James Barker Band, Hardy, Terri Clarke and many more taking to the stage. As live music has returned on both sides of the border, the BVJ line-up is proof that good things will be coming to those who wait, but I would not wait too long to get this one on my bucket list.
