    		•  ABOUT THE FESTIVAL The Willamette Country Music Festival is excited to announce the beginning of a new era in "live" country music and also extend an invitation to country music fans around the northwest to attend Oregon's next big outdoor country music party.

    The 2008 Willamette Country Music Festival is scheduled for July 18th, 19th & 20th in the historic and quaint community of Brownsville Oregon. First settled in 1846, Brownsville is a comfortable and old fashioned community nestled along the scenic foothills of the cascade mountains in the Mid Willamette Valley just 4 miles east of the Interstate 5 corridor.

    This incredible country music event is not only set to feature fantastic headline artists, but our staff is committed to making this concert experience one to remember for everyone who attends. Besides fantastic music, The Willamette Country Music Festival offers overnight RV and tent camping, a wide variety of food vendors, business and clothing displays and an incredible fireworks show.

    Besides producing this fantastic event for the best music fans on earth, the Willamette Country Music Festival is also being produced to help provide funding for Central Linn High School,...the primary high school of the area, ... and "Sharing Hands", a local non-profit organization that helps feed and clothe those less fortunate who live in the Brownsville community.

    In the words of the Brownsville commmunity... we hope to see you here where life is sweet and the welcome is warm!
