VOICE OF BVJ KARAOKE CONTEST
The Voice of Big Valley Karaoke Contest is Back!
Presented by ArrKann Trailer & RV and Infinite Event Services, this legendary showdown is returning to Big Valley Jamboree—and it's bigger, bolder, and louder than ever!
For 23 unforgettable years, this contest has been a launchpad for incredible talent, including stars like Mat Cardinal (before his rise with The Prairie States), and Candice Ryan. Now it's your turn to take the mic and feel the thrill of performing at one of Canada’s most iconic country music festivals.
Join your hosts Carrie, Mike, Morgan, and Savannah at the Cook County Saloon for our open karaoke sessions—where anyone can step up and sing their heart out. Over the first three days, we’ll be scouting the top voices. The top 16 singers will battle it out in the finals on Sunday afternoon, and one rising star will be crowned the 2025 ArrKann Trailer Voice of BVJ!
🌟 The grand prize? A once-in-a-lifetime chance to perform live on the SiriusXM Stage in the Coors Original Saloon in front of thousands of fans that very night. You'll be sharing the stage where country stars like Luke Combs, Dallas Smith, and Brothers Osborne have rocked the crowd.
💥 Whether you're aiming for the spotlight or just want to belt out your favorite tune with friends, this is your moment. Don’t miss the magic—show up, sing loud, and own the stage every day at the Cook County Saloon during BVJ!
