Due to circumstances beyond our control, the venue for Family Faith Fest has changed. A wetter than normal fall season has caused the grounds at Al Lopez Park to become overly saturated and park officials have informed us that our event plans would have to be greatly modified and limited if we remain at Al Lopez Park. For the safety, enjoyment and comfort of all, we have decided we must relocate the Family Faith Fest.
The Family Faith Fest will now be held at:
Florida State Fairgrounds
4800 U.S. Highway 301 North
Tampa, Florida 33610
Phone: 813-621-7821
Click here for directions. (Enter parking lot through Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.)
All of the great concerts, activities and prayer opportunities remain the same. The musical lineup and schedule of events are still happening as planned. This will be a wonderful and free event for people of all ages. Free parking! Free entertainment! We hope you will join us for this spirit-filled event!
