Another successful year of Lakes Jam has come and gone. Luckily the first day was captured in a time lapse.

Lakes Jam, which brings in thousands every year to Brainerd, was started in 2012 that brings in both country and rock fans. It is held on the Brainerd International Raceway grounds and has concerts for three days (Thursday-Saturday).

Here’s how the first day of the 2018 festival looked in time lapse form with Ashley McBryde and LOCASH finishing out the night.

Country concert on a Minnesota summer night? You can’t beat that. The night after featured two unbelievable acts also with Kip Moore and Brantley Gilbert kicking off the weekend. That’s a ton of firepower for Northern Minnesota. The Saturday night lineup consisted of rock performances from Cinderella’s tom Keifer and Geroge Thorogood & The Destroyers.

Now we wait for who will get announced for the 2019 festival. Personally I’m hoping for a Luke Combs announcement.
