WHEATON, Wis. – The long-running festival Country Jam USA, now going into its 32nd year, is moving down the road. Organizer Kathy Wright confirmed that the festival has bought 160 acres along Sherman Creek southeast of Wheaton, for a permanent site for 1,500 camp sites. She declined to disclose terms of the deal. The new location is west of Chippewa County Road T along 120th Avenue. The festival has been in Union township in Eau Claire County — a place where the hubbub was becoming too much for neighbors, she said. Wright described the new site as remote with no streets to cross. When will it be open? July 2023. This year’s fest, still in Union Township in Eau Claire County, is July 21 to 23.

Up and moving. New bucolic countryside near Wheaton.
