GraceFest has been recognized as one of the premier Christian music festivals on the West Coast, uniting and drawing thousands of believers together for the past 17 years. Through incredible partnerships, GraceFest has featured some of the most notable names in Christian music.

​

This year marks the 18th Annual GRACEFEST Music & Message Festival, taking place on September 19, 2026, at the beautiful Castaic Lake, Park and Recreation in Castaic, California, near Magic Mountain. Join us for this extraordinary event with one ultimate purpose: to share the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ.

​

You can expect top Christian artists, powerful worship bands, local worship teams & choirs, inspiring speakers, amazing food, unique vendors, great fellowship, and a Kid’s Zone with fun activities for the whole family.

​

GraceFest is more than just a music festival or Christian concert—it’s a powerful, Spirit-filled celebration where believers from all backgrounds can come together, set aside differences, and unite around what matters most: Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Every element of GraceFest is designed to glorify God and ignite a passion for Jesus. ​The founders, Ron and Yvette Emard/Communities for Christ, were intentional and faithful for more that 16 years to the vision God placed on their hearts—desiring above all else to honor Christ and make GraceFest a unifying force and beacon of light within the community.

​

With that same vision and passion to carry the mission forward, Swoop & Bright have embraced the mantle of leadership with a heart to expand the reach of GraceFest into new communities and mission fields. Their desire is to create an atmosphere where anyone—especially those who may not know Jesus or are searching for hope—can come freely, without pressure or expectations, and experience authentic connection, genuine love, community, and the presence of God.

 

“We believe that when you create a welcoming space for people to simply come as they are—to engage with believers, experience community, and encounter the presence of God in an organic and authentic way—lives can truly be changed,” explains Swoop & Bright. “We’ve seen God move year after year, and we believe He will continue to transform lives through GraceFest.”
