Tens of thousands of country music fans from areas including the Maritimes, Ontario and Quebec are in Greater Moncton this morning.

They’ve converged on the tri-communities in advance of a huge country party.

The gates open at 1 p.m. Thursday in Dieppe for this year’s three day YQM Country Fest featuring artists including Jelly Roll, Luke Bryan and Kane Brown.

Bracelets can be picked up at Cousteau Park in Dieppe.   You must have one for admission.

A full list of items allowed on the site can be found on the YQM Country Fest website.
