The Creation Festival is a HUGE festival that features over 100 bands on 7 different stages.  The festival aims to pay tribute to our creator as well as prove the highlight of the summer through music, inspirational speeches, comedy shows, baptisms, extreme sports, an extreme fun zone, a tarp run, a candle lighting, fireworks and other fun activities going on throughout the festival.

The purpose of the festival is "to present the Gospel through music, teaching and any other creative means so that those attending will be drawn to salvation and discipleship in Christ," according to the festival website.  It aims to glorify our creator through music, worship, Christ-centered teaching and, ultimately, submission to the Lord and His perfect will.
