A Night in the Country Music Festival
started as fundraising idea for
the Boys and Girls Clubs of Mason
Valley in 2002. The first year generated
about 900 concert goers with the
Club not making a profit this first
year. The concert was not a success
in terms of dollars but it did help
build a foundation for future years
to come.
With the help of our friends of
K-BUL 98.1 FM, who have been with
us from the very beginning, and
numerous loyal sponsors, we have
moved this event from a one night
concert to a two night music festival.

In 2007 the event saw 7,000
people attend the festival, selling out
on the second night! The two nights now
include four top named national recording
country music artists. We now offer onsite
dry camping for RV’s and tents.
Also located at the event
are several food and beverage choices, which
may consist of our local service clubs such
as Lions, Rotary and Soroptimist.
To keep with the demand
of this event organizers are constantly
seeking out new ways to keep up with the
growth. Future years may include a third
night and/or more artist each day. This
is a great event, occurring the last Friday
and Saturday in July each year, that we
guarantee will have you begging for more!
All proceeds of the concert,
other than the concessions, benefit the
Boys and Girls Clubs of Mason Valley who
are dedicated to ensuring that our community’s
disadvantaged youngsters have greater access
to quality programs and services that will
enhance their lives and shape their futures.
