About

The Temecula Gospel Fest is a Benefit for the arts program at Oak Grove Center for Education Treatment & the Arts (a nonprofit 501©3). We have found that as our at-risk youth experience the power of the Arts, amazing things can happen including recovering from their past trauma, gaining self esteem, freedom in self-expression and positively connecting with others. Oak Grove Arts include music, dance, performing, drumming, rock band, poetry and visual arts. In addition to helping our at-risk and special needs children and youth, there is no doubt Gospel Fest 09 will be a noteworthy event for our faith communities as well.

Friday evening will kick off the event with local and regional contemporary Christian artists. Saturday’s events will include a choir sound off with winners being announced at the end of the show and the First Place Choir being featured at the 7pm performance. A VIP Reception for Sponsors and Festival Pass Holders will precede the evening concert at 6pm. Sponsorship opportunities are available.

History of GospelFest

The first Temecula Gospel Fest was held last year thanks to the creative energy of Founder and Executive Producer Stacey Dove Daniels. For many years, Stacey had dreamed of such a festival and combined her love of kids and Gospel to create this Benefit Concert for the Performing Arts Program of Oak Grove.
