Headwaters Country Jam came to life in June 2008. The summer concert set has come back every year since. The Bridge near Three Forks provides a venue with 159 acres – attendees can both enjoy the music and set up camp for the weekend. A combination of local and national artists provides sets all day and into the night.

The festival spans a weekend, creating a three-day country music festival to be remembered, featuring over a dozen bands.

Over the years, artist such as Eric Church, Dustin Lynch, Eli Young Band, Emerson Drive, Joe Diffie, Mark Wills, Blackhawk, Lonestar, Clint Black, Trace Adkins, The Charlie Daniels Band, and countless others have graced the stage of the Headwaters Country Jam.

In addition to the amazing music lineup, attendees can join in horseshoe tournaments, dance competitions, and mechanical bull riding. Food and merchandise vendors will be in attendance.

Consider exploring the rest of Jefferson County while you are in the area for the festival – Lewis and Clark Caverns, Tizer Gardens, Elkhorn State Park and Boulder Hot Springs are within an hour drive!

Camping at the Country Jam, is one of the best ways to enjoy the event! Grab a campsite and tickets and plan your trip to the largest country music festival in Montana this summer!
