Cloverdale Country Fair jammed with entertaining acts for long weekend

A big line up of music and entertainment is now set for the 78th Cloverdale Rodeo and 135th Country Fair.

The rodeo and fair will be hosting more than 100 acts across several stages over the course of Rodeo Weekend—more acts than ever before. Seven venues are set to host both musical and entertainment acts over five days.

Sidelined for nearly two decades, the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association (CREA) resurrected its the Country Fair Kickoff concert this year—set for Thursday, May 14—expanding “Rodeo Weekend” to five days.

Concert-goers will get to listen to three-time Juno award winner Brett Kissel and rising country star Cooper Alan as they perform in the Longhorn Saloon. Morgan Klaiber will open the show. Klaiber, recently called “the West’s best kept secret,” had the CMAB album of the year in 2025. Other headliners this year include: K-os (Friday, May 15), Tony Stevens (Saturday, May 160, The Strumbellas (Saturday, May 16), Gord Bamfor (Sunday, May 17), and The Road Hammers (Sunday, May 17).

As per usual, the Longhorn Saloon lineup is stacked. So too are a myriad of other stages and venues set for Rodeo Weekend, including: the CR Main Stage, the Indigenous Stage, the Indigenous Village arae, the Showbarn, the Lasso Lounge, the Hops & Vines Stage, Rodeo Reds, Buckaroo Kids Stage, Backstretch Action Zone, Skateboard Stampede area, and Roll-A-Rama.
