The Havelock Jamboree is getting visitors from around the world Canada, USA and Europe. What can you say; it’s the best four days of the year. The Jamboree is always Thursday to Sunday on the third weekend of August. This year the Jamboree is August 14-17. This year was extra special, for the reason it was the Jamborees 25th anniversary. The Jamboree brought in some of country music big names like Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Kelly Pickler and Doc Walker and of Course The Good Brother that’s been at twenty four of twenty five Jamborees.
It’s hard to believe Ed and Paula been doing this for 25 years and it just keeps getting bigger and better each year. Have you ever had a house party and over 40,000 people showed, with 25 different bands to play over a four day weekend? If you haven’t and like to have fun, you need to get yourself to the jamboree next year.
Despite all the rain they had for the 25th Anniversary, it didn’t stop anyone from heading down to the brand new twin stages that was built last year to sit in the rain. You know it Havelock season and you prepare yourself, ether full rain gear and boots, rain ponchos from the dollar store, or if you so desire an extra twenty four case of beer and for get its raining and just party like if the sun is still shining.
