This is the 26th year for Country in the Park. This year, the city has added a four-day carnival to the festivities.

PINELLAS PARK – Grammy award winner Crystal Gayle will be the headline act at Country in the Park this Saturday (March 19).

While Gayle has had 17 No. 1 singles, she is perhaps best known for Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue. Gayle will be the featured performer of a music lineup that includes local favorites the Pirate Flag Band, Clemons Road and Bay Bluegrass bands. Music is not the only activity at Country in the Park, which includes a trade show, car show, book sale, children’s activities and an arts and craft show. This year’s events will also include a four-day carnival with ferris wheel and other rides. The carnival runs Thursday (March 17)  through Sunday (March 20).

Admission to both the carnival and Country in the Park is free. The concert is also free. There may be charges for food, drink, rides and other activities. Both activities are at England Brothers Park and Bandshell, 5010 81st Ave. N.

The carnival will run 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. It will be open from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday. Country in the Park opens at noon on Saturday.
