The Country Thunder Arizona festival wrapped over the weekend, and tens of thousands of festival-goers descended upon Canyon Moon Ranch in Florence to enjoy four days of performances, camping, cuisine and more April 10-13.

Headliners Riley Green, Keith Urban, Hardy and Bailey Zimmerman rocked the stage throughout the four night festival. Highlights included Green bringing out fellow Thursday Main Stage performers Tucker Wetmore and Drew Green for an iconic medley in tribute to Toby Keith; Urban finishing his Friday night set with a confetti-filled “Wasted Time,” then returning to the stage to play “Making Memories Of Us” solely on the acoustic guitar, and Hardy bringing out Ashley McBryde for a power rendition of his Platinum hit “Wait in the Truck (feat. Lainey Wilson).”

Attendees were also treated to thrill-seeking rides, carny-style fare and an array of vendors from custom hat-trimming to tattoos, plus high points such as the Kimes Ranch Songwriter Showcase, which connected fans with the hit songs heard on the Main Stage from the writers who crafted them. Local Arizona talent showcased on the Copperhead Stage, while campers enjoyed line dancing competitions and dance parties with DJ Griffin Green in the Electric Thunder attraction.

Country Thunder Arizona also excitedly welcomed its “One Millionth Fan,” Lacey Culpepper, who was attending the festival for the first time and became the lucky recipient of Platinum Experience tickets and a campsite for life, exclusive autographed memorabilia and festival merch, a Kimes Ranch Western Wear prize pack valued at $250, a Dixxon Flannel on-site shopping spree for $250 and a $500 Lifted Trucks prize pack and swag bag.
