The festival began on Friday night in Cobdogla, culminating with the country music awards and gala concert in Barmera over the long weekend.

Over 40 local and interstate artists are scheduled to perform around the region during the festival.

"Early in the week you've got Graham Butterworth and Cheryl Lethlean who is being inducted into the hall of fame," said Festival coordinator Dot McDonnell.

"Then as we head on into the week we will have our major artists coming in like Doug Bruce and the Tailgaters - they're one of Australia's top country bands and were a big hit in Tamworth in January - and we've got Ruckus, who are really ploughing up the popularity charts, they're a great group."
