important update

We’ve received so many calls and emails asking what the plan for this year’s festival is and we appreciate how much you love Country Fan Fest. That love and care is what makes it so difficult to say that CFF will be on hiatus this year while we focus on resolving some of the challenges that have been facing the festival.

After months of engaging with festival partners, working closely with Tooele County, and exhausting every effort that might lead to the festival coming back this year, it’s clear that we won’t be able to make that happen.

The challenges facing independent festivals has been immense. Rising production costs, unpredictable ticket sales, and an increasingly difficult landscape during 2023 and 2024 have made it impossible to move forward with this year’s event. Again, this decision hasn’t been made lightly and we’ve explored every possible avenue to make it work but, right now, it simply isn’t feasible.

As for 2026 and beyond, we’re continuing conversations with strategic partners to help solve some of the issues we’re facing in hopes that we’ll be back next year and better than ever! Planning and building this festival for you over the last 9 years has been our absolute pleasure, one that we can’t wait to experience with you all again. We will, of course, share any new updates with you as they happen so that we can all GO WEST together again real soon. Until then, stay country.

Sincerely,
The Team at CFF
