The experience
What's special
ND Country Fest is North Dakota's largest country music festival, held at the Morton County Fairgrounds in New Salem under "Salem Sue", the World's Largest Holstein Cow. The 2027 edition, billed as the 10th anniversary, runs 7 to 10 July. The organizer says it welcomes over 75,000 fans from 40 states and 200 Canadian cities, with a Main Stage, a Second Stage and nightly after parties with DJ DU. The 2027 bill so far is led by Old Dominion, Lee Brice, Hudson Westbrook, Joe Nichols and Phil Vassar.
How it works
Four-day passes come as General Admission, VIP, VIP Gold and VIP Club Lounge, with camping, parking and shuttle passes sold separately; a payment plan takes 10 percent down. Wristbands are collected at box offices at the North Gate music bowl entrance and at each campground. Bring ID and a folding lawn chair for the lawn area (no chairs in the VIP pit). Outside food and drink are allowed only in the campgrounds. Pets, drones, weapons and bicycles are not allowed.
Who it suits
ND Country Fest suits country music fans who want a camping weekend with big-name acts, from frontier tent camping to VIP and private suites. Under-18s may attend with an admission ticket and a supervising parent or guardian, but the organizer does not recommend it for children under 12, and children 5 and under are free in the general admission area only. Alcohol is sold, with 21+ wristbands.

Getting there
Nearest airport BIS.
How do I get to ND Country Fest?
By car
Most people drive to ND Country Fest. The nearest major airport is BIS, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Festival shuttle
Official festival-branded roundtrip shuttle with pickup points at Bismarck Event Center (Lot D) and the Radisson Bismarck (the festival's official hotel partner), both in Bismarck itself, ~25 miles east of the New Salem festival grounds, not at BIS airport directly. A fly-in attendee still needs a short in-city taxi/rideshare leg from BIS to one of the two pickup points before boarding this shuttle. Festival's own guidance flags spots filling fast.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Uber/Lyft pick up at the BIS departure level; several rental-car counters are inside the terminal near baggage claim. In-city Bismarck fares are low, but the ~25-mile leg out to New Salem should be budgeted as a longer/costlier trip, not an in-city rate.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
On site parking available. Cost Starting at $60 for the 4-Day Onsite Parking product (multiple tiers/options listed on the Etix page); single-day GA parking priced separately, onsite-purchase only. Prepay via Etix. "No overnight parking" applies to this day-parking product specifically, it is not for anyone planning to sleep in their vehicle; camping attendees use the separate camping-tier vehicle allowance instead.
