! The oldest and largest Christian music festival in the South is back, and right in our backyard! Summer <strong>2016</strong> marks the 30th anniversary of AtlantaFest – and it’s returning with plans and an artist line-up that are bigger and better than ever before! The threeday festival features top names in the Christian music industry, this year including TobyMac, MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, Tenth Avenue North, Natalie Grant, and a long list of others that will make this year’s event the biggest yet. Founded in 1986, AtlantaFest was one of the first large-scale Christian music festivals in the country. Since then, it has grown into a frontrunner in the industry, paving the way for live Christian entertainment and earning its title as “THE Christian Music Festival.” AtlantaFest is returning this year under new ownership by Dr. Chris Leader, founder of Ignite Outreach and President of Food Aid International, and Teresa Ferraro, Director of Promotions and Social Media for The Q99.7. Dr. Leader has worked in ministry and international missions for over 10 years; Ferraro has served in Christian radio for years, working to help launch artists and to connect believers to positive, encouraging music. Given his experience and background, Dr. Leader is excited to be grafting missions into the DNA of the festival. “When it’s all said and done, our goal for AtlantaFest is simple: to equip, encourage, and empower people with the gospel of Jesus Christ,” said Leader. Festival attendees will be packing 100,000 meals for orphans in Haiti with Food Aid International, sponsoring orphanages through Hopegivers International, and hosting a 5k to raise support for Whole Hearts, Matt Hammitt’s (Sanctus Real) foundation to raise awareness for child heart disorders.
