Country Bear Jamboree is a classic and beloved stage show located in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom Park, one of the theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The attraction is an iconic part of Disney history, having originally opened at Disneyland in California before being brought to Walt Disney World in 1971.
