Where is the Country Stampede happening this year?

"Grab your tickets now before prices go up," - Country Stampede social media statement excerpt.

Will there be camping options at the Country Stampede?

Tholen said camping options will start to become available for purchase in mid-April after the City of Bonner Springs changes an ordinance regulating camping activities. He said camping will be available on both Azura Amphitheater and AG Hall of Fame property with maps to be released once camping ticket options go on sale.

In a previous announcement on social media from the Country Stampede, it was revealed that organizers for the festival were working with the City of Bonner Springs to approve changes to a standing city ordinance with ticket options for camping to be released once the alterations received approval from the city council. The current city ordinance regulating camping states that the activity is allowed only for 48 hours.

Where can I park?

Tholen said parking for the event will be handled through Azura Amphitheater. The organizers for this year's festival are still waiting for information from the venue before releasing details to country music fans.
