THE KYABRAM RV COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL WILL BE BIGGER AND EVEN BETTER IN 2024.

Kyabram RV Country Music Festival president Allan Weeks counted 180 vehicles camping at the festival in 2023.

“And this year, we are hoping for upwards of 250,” he said.

“It will be bigger and brighter than last year.”

The gates of the Kyabram showgrounds will open on Monday, November 4, so everyone can start setting up camp.

Onsite caravan and motorhome facilities will be available.

Rod and Rhonda Owen’s hugely successful open mic will run Wednesday through Friday from 2pm to 6pm for all aspiring artists and musicians.

So, you don’t have to pack up and move to see the district, on Wednesday and Thursday, the ever-popular bus tours will visit places of interest in the district.

Allan was a little bit secretive about the routes the bus trips will take in 2024

“The ever-popular bus tour will be on again and visit places of interest in the district, mystery trips no-one knows where we are going, they will be different to other years,” he said.

To encourage visitors to attend the Kyabram Spring Market on Friday, a free bus will run all day, every half an hour from the showgrounds to Kyabram’s main street.

The main event at the Kyabram RV Country Music Festival kicks off on Saturday, November 9 at 10am.

Artists playing the best of country music include Lance Birrell, Owen Blundell, Don Costa, Peter Coad and the Coad Sisters, Runaway Dixie, Sandie Dodd, Robyn Gleeson, Gen and Trudy Hintz, Tom Maxwell, Evan Platschinda and Justin Standley.

The festival will finish with the grand finale, with all artists on stage at 6pm to close the weekend.
