The Chicago Gospel Music Festival serves to recognize and celebrate the creative, historical, communal, and social significance of Gospel music, which is an art form created by the African American community, having a great impact on American culture! The Chicago Gospel Music Festival attracts visitors from around the country and abroad for a lakefront celebration of Gospel at its best. Gospel music has deep roots in Chicago's African-American community, and it's one of the fastest growing musical genres in the U.S. according to Billboard Magazine.
