The Miri Country Music Festival is a country music festival in Miri held once a year that showcases international country music bands that feature their rendition of rock, pop, contemporary, bluegrass and folk country tunes.
The one-day event showcases music workshops, line dance session, bazaar and music concert. The day’s program usually starts from 2pm onward with the opening of the bazaar followed with music workshops. The line dance session will be held from 4pm, while the concert will start from 5.30pm onward. Line dance and western enthusiasts are expected to get together to share and exchange dance technique and steps at the line dance sessions.
Introduced in 2013 in Kuching, Sarawak, and hosted in Miri recently, the Miri Country Music Fest is claimed to be the only Country Music Festival in this region.

Lutong Bridge is the bridge linking Pujut 8 to Lutong across Miri River. This bridge was originally single-lane for each direction, but eventually upgraded in the early 2000s to accommodate for more traffic to double-lane going each direction. There is actually a road that goes beneath this bridge linking to Lutong Baru, effectively making this bridge Miri's very first 'overpass'.
