Festival Country Lotbinière stands as a landmark in Quebec's music festival landscape, celebrating its 11th edition in 2026 as the province's only festival devoted entirely to country music. Since its founding in 2015, the festival has attracted over 300,000 fans, establishing itself as the largest camping and country music festival in Quebec. The event is held annually in the municipality of St-Agapit, located just 30 minutes from Quebec City, making it accessible while maintaining a festival atmosphere centered on the camping experience.

The 2026 edition runs August 27-29, operating from 2:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. daily across two stages, with more than 20 confirmed artists performing 100% country music. The festival caters to multiple audience preferences with varied ticket options: general admission at CAD 180 for three days, plus premium seating packages including Front Stage ($315), Mezzanine ($365), Lounge Zone ($365), Twisted Tea Terrace ($365), and VIP Zone starting at CAD 875 per person. Single-day passes are available at CAD 90, with corresponding premium upgrades at lower price points.

Accommodation options are central to the festival experience. Over 500 unserviced camping sites operate on-site across multiple zones, with options for tent-only camping ($100 for three days), tents with vehicles ($175), compact RVs ($250), large trailers ($345), and premium RV sites ($420). Off-site accommodations include several hotels, inns, and bed-and-breakfast establishments within proximity.

The festival provides comprehensive amenities: over 10 food trucks offer dining with free access to the campground and festival site, multiple bars serve beverages, and entertainment includes the Nashville XP Saloon featuring unique merchandise, a mechanical bull ride, and country dancing. Accessibility features include a dedicated reserved area for people with limited mobility, and parking is available near the festival site at CAD 10 per day. Shuttle services operate from multiple regional stops (Lévis, Québec, St-Apollinaire/Laurier, and Lotbinière-Beauce) at CAD 20-25 per day with round-trip service.

Operationally, the festival accepts only card and official FCL currency on-site (no cash), with RFID-chipped wristbands for both show and camping access. Final day schedules are provided a few weeks before the event. Financial support comes from SODEC (Société de développement des entreprises culturelles). The festival emphasizes community involvement, sustainable development practices, and team-building opportunities for festival staff and volunteers.
