The story

Country Thunder Saskatchewan in Craven

Country Thunder Saskatchewan fills the Qu'Appelle Valley hamlet of Craven with a four-day country music campout each July, part of the larger Country Thunder franchise that also runs festivals in the United States and Alberta. A single mainstage lineup of major country acts anchors the days, while an extensive on-site campground culture defines the experience as much as the music itself.

Craven, a hamlet north of Regina along the Qu'Appelle Valley, turns into a temporary city of tents and campers each July when Country Thunder Saskatchewan takes over its festival grounds for four days of mainstage country music.
