History
The Havelock Country Jamboree began in 1990 as a three-day event held on a few acres of farm fields with a semi-truck trailer as the stage. It has since grown to a four-day event with over 500 acres (2.0 km2) of camping area and twin stages. New Twin Stages were built in 2013. The event continues to grow and draw fans from all over North America.
Havelock Country Jamboree features over 25 entertainers performing on twin stages over a 4-day period.
The Havelock Jamboree seeks to create a friendly, community atmosphere where music fans can enjoy their favourite performers. The Havelock Country Jamboree features a mix of veteran and young up-and-coming artists from both Canada and the United States. Many of the musicians have appeared in Havelock at past Jamborees. Others, however, are making their first appearance at the now venerable music festival. The twin stages have held over 4000 musicians as the popular festival has grown over the years. The Jamoree has worked hard to create a festive and supportive atmosphere for everyone.
