2009 marks the festival's seventh year. We have been very blessed in our first six years to be able to bring our community together for family fun, great entertainment and food. The festival has served to showcase the diverse interests and businesses of the Denver area allowing everyone who attends to see what our area has to offer.

However, with well over 100 churches in the area as well as the historic and nationally recognized Rock Springs Camp Meeting, we felt the festival was missing an important part of our community, the faith and spirituality of the people that call the Denver area home. This year the festival will incorporate and celebrate the spiritual aspect of this wonderful community by beginning with an evening of Gospel and Inspirational Song.

Our hope is that this will be a time to cross denominational lines and share in an evening of spiritually inspirational performances with family, friends, neighbors, and new acquaintances from across the county and around the lake.

Of course, our evening cannot be successful without help and support from area churches and performers. Below is a short survey to gather input and information about your church or group's level of interest. Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey and then click just once on the SUBMIT button located at the end of the form.
