How The Fest Started


Bradford is a small town located in central Illinois. Labor Day Weekend is a special time for familes and friends to celebrate in Bradford. Many people come for a visit and to enjoy the weekend of activites. In 1995 a group of Christians decided they wanted something uplifting added to the weekend's agenda for families to enjoy! They invited several Christian music groups to come and entertain. All Day long there were free concerts in Elsie Hodges Park in Bradford. The event added to the Labor Day Weekend celebration and has continued ever since. The event is funded through free will offerings and donations only. The uplifting music floods the park all day long with more than 10 groups entertaining.
