About Gospel Music FanFair
In 2005, Wilds & Associates organized and promoted the first Southern Gospel Music FanFair in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The event was relocated to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in 2009. The following year, Wilds & Associates launched the Country Gospel Music FanFest, adding even more variety for Gospel music fans. In 2014, both events were combined into one six-day event and broadened the spectrum of musical styles. The name was officially changed to Gospel Music FanFair. The annual six-day mega concert event features a variety of talent from new artists to living legends performing throughout the week. Gospel music fans gather from all over to enjoy morning worship services, daily showcases, afternoon matinees and spectacular evening concerts. Perhaps, one of highlights of the week is the annual Gospel Music Fan Awards. Six days and nights of live Gospel music, fellowship, and family fun!
19th Annual Gospel Music FanFair was held May 8 - 13, 2023, at the Center For Rural Development, Somerset, Kentucky.
