If your perfect summer day includes live country music, cold drinks, and a little bit of line dancing—clear your schedule for August 1. The Connecticut Country Music Festival is making its debut at the North Haven Fairgrounds, and it’s bringing serious energy with it.
This one-day, outdoor festival is designed to become a go-to annual event here in Connecticut, and honestly, it’s off to a strong start. The lineup blends nationally touring artists with rising talent, giving you a mix of names you know and ones you’ll be glad you discovered early.
Headlining the day is Annie Bosko, joined by Mark Mackay and Kristen Brown—with more artists still to be announced. Expect music all day long across two stages, so there’s always something happening.
But this isn’t just about the music. The festival leans all the way into the experience with local food trucks, adult beverage vendors, and activities that keep things fun between sets—think mechanical bull rides, axe throwing, and plenty of line dancing. (Yes, we’re already picturing the Instagram content.)
There’s also a meaningful moment built into the day: a special America 250 Celebration kicks off at noon, celebrating the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States.
