The First Baptist Church of Anacoco will hold the largest freedom music fest in West Central Louisiana Sunday, June 30, beginning at 5 p.m. on the church grounds.

This will mark the third year for the Faith & Family Freedom Music Fest.  Last year it attracted almost three thousand attendees.  Organizers are hoping for five thousand this year.

The festival will feature some outstanding family and Christian artists.  Chosen Road was recently named Newcomer of the Year at the Dove Awards.  Point of Grace is a well-known female trio. The Jason Lovins Band will get the crowd moving with their high energy show. The evening headliner is Mac Powell, lead singer for long-time group, Third Day.  Music will begin at 5 p.m., and this event is free to attend and family friendly.

The grounds for the festival are behind the First Baptist Church but parking will be at the elementary and high schools, with golf carts shuttling festivalgoers to the event site.  You are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets.  Ice chests are allowed, but alcohol is strictly prohibited.

The event will feature food trucks, snow cones, and more.  Food and beverage vendors include: Chris Jennings/Italian ice and lemonade, Gringo Biscuit, Kai’s Island Grill, Smackers, The Lunch Box, Big Meaux’s BBQ, D’alish, Kona Ice, Get 2 Crackin, The Hot Dog Man, Savage Spork, and Tasty Treats on the Bend.

Following the music, organizers are planning a massive fireworks display.  They expect it will be the biggest in the area.

Make it a different kind of Sunday with your family at the Faith & Family Freedom Music Fest, June 30, 5 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Anacoco.
