Mervyn Carrick helped create the event in 2000 as he was sick of the troubles within the town and creating bad press. It has been going on every year except during the pandemic. Here are just some of my photos and videos.
Country Comes To Town 2024
It's a bit early, but the 2025 event should be on in September 2025 this year again. Looking forward to it.
Looking forward to Country Comes to Town 2024 in Portadown this year. The date is Saturday, 21st September 2024. Keep that date in your diary.
Country Comes To Town 2023
Country Comes to Town 2023 in Portadown this year, which promises to be similar and hopefully better than previous years. This year, you'll hear plenty of country music as well as plenty of stalls along the high street in the centre of Portadown. Also, I’m sure there’ll be plenty of kids' activities too, with some farm animals.
