About Creation Festivals, LLC
Celebrating 31 years, the Creation Festival was founded in 1979 in Pennsylvania and has since grown to become the largest event of its kind. Creation added a second event in 1998 on the west coast, held at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA. In 2005, Creation branched out internationally with Friendship Fest, held just outside the beautiful gardens and sold walls of Marrakech, the cultural capital of the Kingdom of Morocco. It has been a huge success with more than 80,000 fans gathering for this truly historical event in a Muslim country. Tens of thousands of people attend the Creation Festivals from all across the United States and Canada, as well as many international countries, including Iceland, Switzerland, and France. The Festival has also been featured by many mainstream media outlets including CBS News' "Sunday Morning", VH1, CNN, FOX News, Details Magazine, The New York Times, and GQ Magazine to name a few. In April 2004, the Creation Festival was awarded the Gospel Music Association's "Lifetime Achievement Award", an honor that recognizes major contributions to the gospel music industry through a company's commitment to the Christian community for 20 or more years. The festival has been recognized three times in CCM Magazine's annual "Readers Choice Awards" as "Favorite Festival". 2008 marked the most recent expansion for Creation, with the launch of their touring divisions. Creation Festival: The Tour and Creation Festival: The Worship Tour are two annual tours, developed to allow fans across the country to experience a taste of the annual festivals, in intimate and local settings.
