Country on the River takes year hiatus
Organizers of Country on the River have decided to take a year off in 2018 and come back “bigger, better...and even more country” in 2019, according to the Country on the River Facebook page.
A statement on the page reads, “Thank you to all of you who have supported Country on the River for the past eight years. We have tremendous appreciation for everything you have done to make this event happen every single year.
However, we regret to announce that the festival will not be returning in 2018. Instead, we’ll be taking a year off to look at improvements to make to the event.”
The post goes on to invite patrons to its sister festival, WE Fest, in Detroit Lakes, Minn.
There have been many rumors that Country on the River is considering relocating to another city, though the Courier Press has not been able to confirm any such details.
