Tim McGraw wows 'em at Boots and Hearts finale (18 photos)

Country megastar hits all the right notes as the Boots and Heart Festival, which drew tens of thousands of people to Oro-Medonte, wrapped up Sunday night

Country megastar Tim McGraw brought down the house Sunday night.

Concluding four days of music and dancing and camping and fun, McGraw was a big hit for the tens of thousands of fans jammed into Burl's Creek Event Grounds between Orillia and Barrie.

McGraw sung all his hits and had the Boots and Hearts crowd in the palm of his hand as he owned the main stage on Sunday night.

The annual festival, which kicked off Thursday night with headliner Tim Hicks, drew huge crowds all weekend. On Friday night, Nickelback rocked the venue, while Keith Urban took centre stage on Saturday night.

In between, dozens of others established and up and coming acts performed to appreciative fans who embraced the vibe, many wearing cowboy hats and cowboy boots.

While there was rain at various times throughout the weekend and a brief evacuation Saturday due to a tornado warning, the evenings were free of precipitation as some of North America's biggest stars shone at the popular annual music festival.
