Big Valley Jamboree

Huge August long-weekend country music festival that briefly turns Camrose into a camping city.

Big Valley Jamboree is Camrose's one genuinely big-ticket event. The country music festival takes over the exhibition grounds on the August long weekend, bringing in campers, major performers, and a crowd far larger than the city usually sees.

It is not a reason to visit Camrose on a random Tuesday, but it is absolutely the reason to time a trip if you like country music. Book and plan early; during the festival, Camrose is not its usual quiet self.
