Formerly the Appletime Gospel Sing, we've reformatted Opening Night of the Festival into Faith & Family Night! Opening on the Appletime Stage with family-friendly and faith-based entertainment, we will be featuring several performers from local churches. To top the night off, for the first time ever on Opening Night, we will be introducing a nationally known headlining act!
