Gospel fans from across the United States and Canada, as well as several foreign countries, will soon be making their way by plane, boat, car, camper and tour bus to Visalia, Cali., for the annual gospelpalooza gathering called the Great Western Gospel Music Fan Festival, from May 2-5.
More than 8,000 music lovers have come to adore this extraordinary event, designed especially for those who enjoy first-class gospel music. Several award-winning artists will be present with their special brand of excellence, which promises to make these days a celebration.
Internationally-known groups will be appearing, such as the Collingsworth Family, the Hoppers, Greater Vision, Triumphant Quartet, Legacy Five, Liberty, and 2017 Solo Artist of the Year Joseph Habedank, along with Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame songwriter Ronny Hinson.
