If you’re headed to Country on the River, you may have a few questions and answers regarding this first-time event.
When will the gates open?
Gates to the event grounds will open to the general public at NOON each day. Handicapped attendees will be permitted to enter at 11am.
Will there be shuttle busses going to and from the event?
Shuttle busses will be running hourly, stopping at area hotels (in Prairie du Chien and some in Iowa). Once the bus is full, it will deliver people to the Country on the River grounds and continue where it left off on the route. The bus will continue to run until after the show.
How much does parking on St. Feriole Island cost?
Event parking will cost $15 and will be available until sold out.
St. Feriole Island has two points of entry. Which should I use?
Generally, if you are only attending the show, use the Washington Street entrance. If you are camping, use Blackhawk Avenue.
How close will St. Feriole Island parking be to the event?
Close. If parking on St. Feriole Island, expect to be closer to the event than almost any other concert they’ve been to.
Where is the will-call window?
It will be near the entrance to the event grounds. If you are familiar with Prairie du Chien and St. Feriole Island, it is alongside the soccer field.
Can I buy tickets at the gate on the day of the event?
Yes.
What about the weather?
Early indications call for a mostly dry weekend. With high temperatures in the mid-80’s.
