Over 20, 000 country music fans spent time in Greater Moncton over the weekend.

They attended the second YQM Country Fest. It ran three days this year, from August 24 to August 26.

Promoter Sam Bourgeois plans to make this an annual gathering in Dieppe, “We’re coming back next year, 100 percent. We already have some major acts confirmed as well. We are also exploring additional stuff as well in the non-country world to determine if that will come true.”

This year’s big acts included Keith Urban, Morgan Wallen and Thomas Rhett.

More to come.
