The Watershed Festival

By David Collins

Watershed Festival, a 3 day country music concert at The Gorge in George gets underway later today. The festival spans the weekend; August 1, 2 and 3.

This year, Watershed is headlined by Tim McGraw, Lady Antebellum and Jake Owen.

The festival is sold out, and almost all of the camping accommodations have sold out as well.

“Watershed has gotten so big, it has grown every year. It’s crazy,” Whitney Smyth, Watershed attendee said.

“This year’s lineup is great, but most people go because it’s a good excuse to camp with friends. It’s like a giant outdoor party and people that don’t even like country music can enjoy it,” Smyth said.
