The five-acre carnival field of the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in beautiful Santa Rosa will be dressed up with impressive video walls and state-of-the-art sound systems and it will set the stage to a spectacular celebration of country music at its finest.
And while performances by country music with top artists are the main attraction for the event, great festivals are more than great music. The festivities will include Western-themed attractions, a variety of culinary feasts, and an array of drinks - from beer to an abundance of fine wine and spirits, of course, the location of the event being in Wine Country after all.
Gates will open at noon and music will start at 1:30 PM each day of the festival.
Tickets start at $79 for an all-day pass and can be bought through CountrySummer.com
