One of the biggest Christian music festivals on the east coast starts on Wednesday, when Creation Fest Northeast kicks off on Agape Farm in Mount Union, PA.
The very first Creation Festival was held in 1979 with the goal of creating a youth-oriented event unlike any other. In 1998 the organization added Creation Northwest; that festival is held at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington, one of the nation’s premiere concert venues. Creation Northwest takes place July 22-25.
This year’s Creation Northeast features artists like Chris Tomlin, Skillet, Third Day, Hawk Nelson, PIllar, Thousand Foot Krutch – the list goes on and on.
Camping accomodations are available. For more info, visit the Creation website.

Just got back from Creation yesterday, it was fantastic. The band that blew me away the most was Skillet. I’ve always liked them but really didn’t follow them very closely. They came to play and did a great job.

This was the best Creation Festival I have been to yet. The band
that touched my heart the most was a new band called Relivant Worship.

Jeff, I know some of the guys in Relevant Worship. I worked closely with them a few years ago when they were in a band called Elektromat. They are some of the most sincere, talented musicians I’ve ever met, and they really are genuine in their desire to share Jesus. I’m so so glad that you noticed it too!
