3rd Annual Summer Country Kickoff
Saturday, May 23, 2026 • Eddie Bush Memorial Arena, Collingwood

Dust off the boots—Collingwood’s favourite country party is back for year three! The Summer Country Kickoff returns to the Eddie Bush Memorial Arena with Grammy-nominated, multi-award-winning headliner James Otto bringing his powerhouse voice, chart-topping hits, and feel-good swagger to the big stage.

Expect an evening of small-town charm and big-stage energy: pre-show fun, local vendors and food options, and a crowd that sings every chorus like it’s summer’s national anthem.

Whether you’re two-stepping on the floor or belting from the stands, this is the night that officially flips the calendar to summer.
