The Gospel Music Fanfair has a rich history. The very first Southern Gospel Music FanFair was launched by Wilds & Associates in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 2005. It later moved to Pigeon Forge in 2009, and in 2010, the Country Gospel Music FanFest was introduced, bringing even more variety to Gospel music fans. In 2014, these two events merged as the Gospel Music FanFair in Somerset, Kentucky. In 2024, the celebration found its new home in the historic town of Fayette, Alabama, in 2025. Whether you are a longtime supporter or brand new to Gospel music, you are invited to be part of this 22nd annual Gospel Music Fanfair 2026, a joyful gathering filled with morning worship, daily showcases, afternoon matinees, and spectacular evening concerts, all culminating in the Gospel Music Fan Awards.
