Barefoot Country Music Fest

Barefoot Country Music Fest, known as BCMF, is a major outdoor country music festival held on the beach in Wildwood, New Jersey. Described by organisers as Jersey’s Original Country Music Beach Fest and the Northeast’s largest four day outdoor country music festival, the event combines live country music with a distinctive seaside setting between Morey’s Piers.

More than 40 artists perform across multiple stages, with the festival bringing together established country stars, national recording artists, emerging performers, regional talent and local favourites. The varied programme gives audiences an opportunity to discover new artists alongside some of the biggest names in country music.

BCMF is designed as more than a series of concerts, combining its live music programme with food and drink vendors, retail shopping, free activities and other festival experiences. The event takes place directly on the sand, creating a relaxed beach atmosphere throughout the weekend.

Its Wildwood location also places visitors close to the wider attractions of the Jersey Shore destination, including miles of beaches, a lively boardwalk, amusement piers, waterparks, shops, restaurants and nightlife. Together, the setting and extensive music programme position Barefoot Country Music Fest as a destination experience for country fans.
