Jacksonville, AL – Jacksonville is once again gearing up to host its much-anticipated annual event, Gospelfest, now back for its third consecutive year. Promising a day filled with music, fellowship, and charitable giving, Gospelfest invites residents and visitors alike to come together for a joyous celebration on May 18th at the Jacksonville Community Center.

This event has something for everyone in the family, making it an ideal outing for both church groups and families looking for a day of fun and entertainment. With activities ranging from live music to arts & crafts vendors, from a car show to a petting zoo, attendees can expect a day packed with excitement and enjoyment.

One of the highlights of Gospelfest is undoubtedly the live music performances scheduled throughout the day. Gospel music enthusiasts will be treated to uplifting and soul-stirring performances by talented local artists, creating an atmosphere of praise and celebration. Whether you come to dance, sing along, or simply bask in the uplifting melodies, the musical lineup promises something for every taste and age.

In addition to the musical entertainment, attendees will have the opportunity to explore a variety of food vendors offering delicious treats and savory delights.
