3rd Annual Summer Country Kickoff Collingwood
Dust off the boots—Collingwood’s favourite country party is back for year three! The Summer Country Kickoff returns to the Eddie Bush Memorial Arena with Grammy-nominated, multi-award-winning headliner James Otto bringing his powerhouse voice, chart-topping hits, and feel-good swagger to the big stage.
Expect an evening of small-town charm and big-stage energy: pre-show fun, local vendors and food options, and a crowd that sings every chorus like it’s summer’s national anthem.
