On Saturday, September 7, the festival shifts gears with Thunder in the Bridge - Country Day, brought to you by Wild 95.5.

It’s going to be a foot-stomping, heart-pounding celebration of country music that you won’t want to miss!

In addition to the big-name headliners, Thunder In The Bridge will also shine a spotlight on Lethbridge’s own musical talent.
