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.
