The Country Stampede Music Festival in Kansas is an outdoor country music and camping festival held at Azura Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, Kansas. The festival has been held annually in Kansas since 1996, usually on the last weekend in June (except in 2020 when it was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic).
The festival was held at Tuttle Creek State Park outside Manhattan, Kansas, from its founding in 1996 to 2018. The 2019 festival was moved to Topeka, initially due to potential flood conditions at Tuttle Creek Lake. Organizers announced the move would be permanent on June 20, 2019. Like many large scale events, the festival was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the festival had a successful 3-day event despite poor weather. Organizers announced on October 19, 2021 that the 2022 festival would be moved to the month of July to attempt to avoid the history of severe weather during the event.
