GARDEN GROVE, Calif.,
July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Diocese of Orange today announced the lineup for its second annual
signature music festival, Christ Fest. Building upon the success of
last year's event, which drew more than 10,000 Orange County locals, the Diocese of
Orange once again invites the
community to experience the music festival on September 9 at the iconic Christ Cathedral
campus. In an effort to include the wider diocesan community, this
year's event adds Festival De Cristo, a Latin Christian music
festival on the evening of September
8.
The main event will feature top Christian artists
including Mac Powell from Third
Day, Shane &
Shane, Rush of Fools,
Ike Ndolol, Las Siervas, Jimi
Cravity, and Adam Bitter.
Festival De Cristo's performers include Mariachi Sol
De Mexico, Son by
Four, Barbara Padilla and
mariachis, and Las Siervas.
"Given the resounding response from last year's event, we
are thrilled to bring back Christ Fest in 2017," said Bishop
Kevin Vann. "We are excited with
this year's lineup and the addition of Festival De Cristo, and
welcome all to celebrate our faith through a day of music and
fellowship."
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased through
the Christ Fest 2017 site. A portion of
the proceeds from this year's event will support CNN Hero, chef and
owner of the White House Restaurant, and philanthropist Sir
Bruno Serato's efforts to feed thousands of
children in Orange County every
day through the Caterina's Club from the kitchens of Christ
Cathedral.
"We are so grateful for Sir Bruno
Serato's dedication to ensuring the children in our
community don't go to bed hungry," said Bishop Vann. "We want him
to continue to be able to feed 3,000 kids a day and are happy to be
honoring and supporting him in this way."
The ecumenical event brings the local and regional
community together for a celebration of the Christian faith through
diverse food, chart-topping musical artists and a beer garden
featuring Orange County
microbreweries.
