The Havelock Country Jamboree is a four-day country music camping festival held in the village of Havelock, Ontario (located 170 km northeast of Toronto). The festival runs Thursday through Sunday on the third weekend in August every year.

History

The Havelock Country Jamboree began in 1990 as a three-day event held on a few acres of farm fields with a semi-truck trailer as the stage. It has since grown to a four-day event with over 500 acres (2 km²) of camping area and twin stages.
