The 2012 Hats Off to Country Festival will be held from Thursday 5th – Sunday 8th July

The 2012 Hats Off to Country Festival is a mid year winter celebration of country music in Australia’s Country Music Capital, a cool contrast to the January Festival. Hats Off to Country is delivered over four huge days of non-stop entertainment from some of Australia’s finest country music talents.

Country music crowds can expect a fabulous array of activity with something for everyone at shopping centres, pubs and clubs around Tamworth and surrounding region. Crowd numbers influx into the city over the long weekend and come from all across the Australia to experience this intimate mid year festival. Tamworth is renown for its delivery of country music education through prestigious programs, ensuring the essential future of Australian country music.

In July 2009, the Australian College of Country Music and the Camerata School of Country Music merged to create a new entity - the CMAA Australian Academy of Country Music.
