3rd Annual South Georgia Gospel Music Festival

In Celebration of African American Music Appreciation Month (aka Black Music Month)

The United States has been celebrating African-American Music Appreciation Month, also known as Black Music Month, in June since 1979.

The month of June is set aside to appreciate the contributions of African-American musicians, composers, singers, and songwriters in American culture. The month honors the history and rich African traditions that gave birth to different styles of music such as rap, hip-hop, jazz, rhythm and blues, barbershop, and swing. Gospel music, or sacred music has influenced all genres of music, which is why it is the chosen genre to highlight during this festival.

This year, we are on a mission to celebrate the old-school sound, anointing, and power of gospel music from the late 90s and early 2000s—a sound that truly lifted souls, broke chains, and kept the focus on Jesus.

Attendees will experience performances by gospel groups, soloists, rappers and musicians. This event is free and open to the public. Lawn chairs, sun tents and blankets are highly recommended.
