About LIFT CITY FESTIVAL

A Festival of faith

Sunday October 22nd | GROUNDS OPEN @ 3 PM

 

In Southern Louisiana, Festivals are at the heart of Creole Land Culture. It’s our way of coming together to celebrate all the good that life has to offer! Lift City Festival is back to amplify the Festival tradition and turn its attention toward the music, food, and content that will fuel your faith and LIFT your spirit.

Our mission is to LIFT the city of Lafayette, its surrounding areas, and anyone who visits the heart of Cajun Country by way of events that bring our diverse community together. These events are divided into two sectors.

LIFT CITY CON: Designed to bridge the gap between the foundational principles of our faith walk and the tools, technology, and testimonies available to the Modern Christian (Coming in future years).

LIFT CITY FEST: Designed to present innovative experiences and spaces that unapologetically celebrate Christ Centered & Christ Like music and art.

THIS YEAR THERE WILL BE A YOUTH HARVEST FESTIVAL FOR AGES 3 to 12! 

This Festival of Faith is something you DO NOT WANT TO MISS. See you there!

LCF 2023!
