The ‘Country Bear Musical Jamboree’ officially opens July 17, 2024 at Magic Kingdom.

Here’s the announcement:

“Paws” whatever you’re doing “fur” some good news! Everyone’s “bear-y” favorite band is back together, so get ready to snarl in sweet harmony on the Grizzly Hall stage, because Country Bear Musical Jamboree will debut on July 17! 

Known as a staple of Frontierland in Magic Kingdom Park here at Walt Disney World Resort, the Country Bears and their nostalgic way of growling out country-western tunes has kept audiences entertained for over 50 years. The bears are back in the spotlight with some fresh country hits a-“bruin,” Nashville-style.  

We’ve already shared a sneak peek at some of the country stars like Mac McAnally who are inspiring the Country Bears’ new show with the all-too-perfect “Bare Necessities,” and we just invited Emily Ann Roberts, an up-and-coming country star and finalist on “The Voice,” to show off her twangin’ take on “Try Everything” from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia.”  

I think Trixie may take a whole heck of a lot of inspiration from that “bear”-iffic performance! Plus, singer-songwriter Allison Russel and musician Chris Thile shared their talents for Wendell and Teddi Barra’s sweet rendition of “A Whole New World.”

Be-“claws” these bears are ready to debut their all-new show, they called upon the talents of costume creators to the stars – our very own creative costuming team at Disney Live Entertainment, who recently gave a behind-the-seams look at dressing celebrities like the Country Bears.  

Today, we also got a first look at Wendell and Big Al in their fancy new duds from the show, which you might see them showing off while out and about. 

(Bear with me, I’m almost done with all the puns.)  

I hope you’re ready to welcome the band back to the stage with all the appropriate hootin’ and hollerin’ because you better “bear”-lieve it’s gonna be a country-fied good time come July 17!

As always, stay tuned and keep checking back for the latest news!
