Luis Palau Fesivals -

CityFest is a new approach to festival evangelism

Together we can mobilize the Church to share the Good News through word and deed as never before!

SERVE. SHARE. SUSTAIN.

SERVE

The Season of Service is a citywide community service initiative taking place in the months leading up to the festival. It brings together civic, corporate, and church leadership for the benefit of the community.

SHARE

The festival is a celebration featuring free concerts by top artists, a Family Fun Zone, an action sports area, and a message of hope from world evangelist Luis Palau.

SUSTAIN

The impact is extended long after the festival through thousands of believers trained to share their faith, and through a continuing Season of Service.

Festivals happening now:

San Diego CityFest

Yakima Valley CityFest

The Luis Palau Association’s “Season of Service” is acclaimed by national media:

• USA Today
• Reader’s Digest
