Sturgeon County is excited to welcome residents and visitors alike to County Bounty 2026!
Due to the extreme rainfall the county has experienced this summer, parts of Cardiff Park are fragile.
To preserve the ecosystem and the park grounds, organizers have reduced the footprint of the event, which has led to the cancellation of the much-loved Firefighter Olympics and some other programs/activities.
Parking is also severely limited onsite, as parking is not allowed on any grass. Please follow the advice of the parking attendants for everyone’s safety.
