The event will feature four local Christian bands, Evergreen, 4given, Wadlow Hill, and Frago, each bringing a unique musical style centered on positive, faith-based messages. Headlining the event is Cliff Preston, a nationally recognized Christian artist whose music is currently featured on major radio networks including K-LOVE and Joy FM. Preston has also appeared on Winter Jam tours in 2025 and 2026 and recently released a new single titled “Testify.”
In addition to the music, attendees will hear from speakers representing various youth camps, with a focus on encouraging unity among young people and the broader community.
The event is free to attend. Concessions will be available on-site, provided by The House of Ruth in Arcadia Valley. All proceeds from concession sales will directly support the organization’s mission.
