The Craven Country Jamboree is re-branding to join the Country Thunder Music Festival.

The festival held a reveal party at Victoria’s Tavern Thursday evening. Organizers also announced the 2017 headliners are Blake Shelton, Toby Keith and Keith Urban.

Country Thunder is already an established brand and has been holding country music festivals in Wisconsin and Arizona for 23 years.
