We are very pleased to welcome you to the 12th Creetown Country Music Festival. Over the past eleven years the Festival has developed into the largest Country Music Festival in Scotland.
Here we are again, now with 11 years of Country Music festivals under our belts, ready to welcome you to our 12th Creetown Country Music Weekend. Whether you have visited us before or are new to the Creetown experience, we look forward to meeting you and introducing you to our guests from the UK and USA.
Over the years the people of Creetown have made many new friends during the Country Weekend. We would like to thank them and the many local business and community organisations that have helped to make every year a success.
Lastly but by no means least we would like to thank all our volunteers for the countless hours of time, effort and enthusiasm they have contributed to the festival for the past ten years. They have done a truly amazing job and we extend them our heartfelt gratitude.
If you are an old hand or joining us for the first time, a warm Creetown welcome. Have a good time, enjoy the music and have a safe and memorable weekend!
Creetown Country Festival Committee
This year’s marquee, The Big Tepee, is the largest yet and will be located in the Park as before. It provides plenty of room to accommodate line dancing, waltzing cowboys & cowgirls and country music acts, with lots of seating and tables for anyone who wants to take a break, enjoy some refreshments and take in the entertainment.
All the ticketed music will be performed here. Children are welcome in the Big Tepee, but please respect the licensing laws:
Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
On Saturday, outdoor entertainment, including music and line-dancing, will also take place in the newly refurbished Square - now a paved, traffic-free area with its own permanent bandstand.
From the Festival Kick-off on Thursday evening, through to the final chords & stomps on Sunday night, you can expect to hear some of the best Country Music artists in Britain, performing live in this beautiful and friendly corner of Scotland.
