Comment

The Merritt Mountain Music Festival took place annually in Merritt, British Columbia. From its humble beginnings in 1993 to becoming one of Canada's biggest country music festivals, the festival started to struggle around 2009 with attendance numbers dropping. The 2010 festival was cancelled and its 2011 comeback proved to be the final event.
