About this Event
ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
One city. One community. One unforgettable afternoon of praise.
The Sanctuary Art Gallery and Bookstore presents Binghamton’s First-Ever Gospel Fest, a citywide celebration of faith, music, worship, and community.
On Saturday, October 17 at 3:00 PM, United Presbyterian Church will come alive with the sounds of gospel music as some of the region’s dynamic recording artists, choirs, groups, worship leaders, and special guests take the stage.
Built around the theme:
“One Voice. One Praise. One Community.”
Gospel Fest is more than a concert.
It is an experience designed to bring people together across churches, denominations, generations, cultures, and communities for an afternoon of inspiration, fellowship, celebration, and powerful live music.

All are welcome. All are loved. All are God’s people.
