Winstock Country
Jason Aldean brought his kinda party to Winstock ‘19 as Friday night’s headliner.
Twenty five years ago Tom Ollig and Dick Langenfeld had a
bold idea for a brand new fundraising opportunity for Holy Trinity
School. At the time, nobody knew exactly what the future would
hold, but the idea became a reality, Winstock Country Music
Festival was born, and in 2020 it is still a testimant to the fact that
when people get together and work towards a shared goal just
about anything is possible.
Even though the beginning years may have been rocky, the
festival has grown to be an enormous success, not only for the
local school but for the City of Winsted. One thing the committee
has continued to do throughout the years is bring a mix of classic
country artists along with current hit artists and some of country’s
hottest up-and-coming performers to the festival. This can be
seen every year throughout the festival’s history by looking at the
unique lineup offered each year. As you can guess, 2020 will be
no different.
Luke Combs, one of country music’s top performers currently,
will be making his Winstock debut and closing out the festival
on Saturday night and it’s sure to be one for the books! Darius
Rucker, who performed at Winstock in , will be headlining Friday
night and will have the opportunity to show what they’re all
about. They may be new to the Winstock stage, but are definitely
not new to the country music scene.
Winstock Country Music Festival will be held Friday and
Saturday, June 12 & 13, 2020, in Winsted.
Joining Luke Combs and Darius Rucker as main stage
performers will be Big & Rich with Cowboy Troy, Brett Eldredge,
Chris Janson, Runaway June, Shenandoah, Phil Vassar, Eric
Chesser, and Bobby Vandell & The Real Men of Country.
In 2018, Winstock goers were introduced to a new name for
what had been coined the Emerging Artist Stage over the years.
The name of Winstock’s second stage has been changed to
the West Stage and is more expansive to allow more than just
newcomers to take the stage. This year’s West Stage performers
are Lainey Wilson, Jake Nelson, Drew Baldridge, and Drew
Parker.

The full country music festival experience
Whether you’re attending the festival for the great ‘fair food’,
the mix of classic and new country music, or to share the weekend
with friends or family, Winstock offers an experience unlike every
other country music festival.
Camping over the weekend offers a completely different
experience than staying in the concert bowl throughout the
festival. Although only primitive camping sites are offered,
campers have become extremely creative and customize
their sites to be exactly what they need for a weekend of fun.
A walk through the campgrounds during the day or night is sure
to entertain with the campsite decorations, bonfires, and the
opportunity to meet other concert-goers that are always friendly
and welcoming.
When it comes to the food, there is a variety of options to
choose from. Whether you have a sweet tooth or prefer down-
home comfort food, you’ll find the best options at the festival.
From mini chocolate chip cookies to turkey croissants and gyros,
there is something for every craving.
While you’re at the concert, don’t forget to check out the
unique vendor booths to find the perfect souvenir to bring back
with you. Some of the items you’ll find are apparel & accessories,
cowboy hats & boots, paintings, purses, artist merchandise, and
much more!
