Boots and Hearts West: Edmonton's Newest Country Music Festival Experience

Boots and Hearts, a renowned country music festival in Ontario, is expanding to Edmonton in the summer of 2026. The inaugural Boots and Hearts West event will take place at Fan Park near Rogers Place on August 28-29, featuring headliners Russell Dickerson and Shaboozey. The festival's co-founder, Eva Dunford, believes that Alberta's country roots and culture align well with the festival's spirit. Unlike the camping setup in Ontario, this urban festival in Edmonton will bring a new experience to the city.

Russell Dickerson, a Christian country singer from Tennessee, is known for his popular songs like "Yours" and "Blue Tacoma." He has collaborated with artists like Thomas Rhett and Tyler Hubbard. Shaboozey, a Virginia rapper and country singer, gained recognition for his track "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" and his appearance on Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter." More artists are yet to be announced for Boots and Hearts West, and tickets will be available for purchase on the festival's website.

For country music fans in Edmonton, Boots and Hearts West offers a unique opportunity to experience a music festival in the heart of the city.
