Theme Nights

Every night at Country Drive Music Fest has its own energy — and its own look. We’re bringing Theme Nights to 2026, giving you three chances to dress up, stand out, and make memories with your crew.

Thursday, June 26 — Camo Cowboy

Kick off the festival in your best camo and cowboy best. Think hunting season meets country concert — and yes, there’s a difference between good camo and great camo. Show us what you’ve got.

Friday, June 27 — Red, White, & Boots

Celebrate the American spirit country-style. Red, white, and blue from head to toe, finished off with your best pair of boots. It’s patriotic, it’s country, and it’s going to look incredible when 5,000 people do it together.

Saturday, June 28 — Wild & Western

Save your best look for last. Go full western — fringe, denim, hats, bandanas, the works. Koe Wetzel closes out the weekend on the Main Stage, and we want the crowd looking as wild as the music sounds.

Theme Night participation is optional but highly encouraged. Come ready to have fun, dress up, and make it a weekend to remember.
