Catch a full day of bands from across the country and shop and eat like you’ve been transported to a different planet.
The Cosmic Country Cookout combines creators from every corner of the Cosmic Country universe to invite audiences into an all-day party. Featuring galaxy-level local talent and musical supernovas from across the country, the Cosmic Country Cookout epitomizes what happens when great stars collide—like when Lavender Country, the grandpappy of gay country got the whole crowd dancing on stage, or Sarah “Squirm” Sherman of Saturday Night Live led the crowd in a stunning cover of “Islands in the Stream”.
While the performances remain at the core of the Cosmic Country Cookout, it wouldn’t be a camped up bangarang without a little grillin’, chillin’, and livin’. Our partners are hand-picked for the theme, included provisions from Lonesome Rose and Pretty Cool Ice Cream and immersive photo booth installations by Glam.
