After the overwhelming success of the inaugural Altona Gospel Music Festival in 2023, they have decided to host another one this Summer and it's coming up Saturday, August 17 in the Altona Park!

Peter Letkeman, one of the organizers of the event chatted with CFAM Morning Show co-host Zack Driedger and sent out the invite to everyone to come enjoy eight performances on the park stage, including himself!

"Well, last year we had seven (performances), myself and my wife also play music and we were asked several times to come. So myself and my wife, Elsie and our friends Harv and Joyce will be the first ones up, the second will be a group called Old Friends and the next one will be the Martins brothers, which is also people from Altona area, The Peters Family from Winkler area, GloryBound Quartet, The Glencross Quartet, The Martin Elias Family and the last but not least, the Quonset brothers."

There is no cost to attend, simply bring a lawn chair and a couple bucks for the two food trucks that will be on-site (YFC Food Truck & Two Bros Food Truck), and enjoy!

However, even though there is no cost to attend, a donation will be taken with 100% of proceeds going to support Altona YFC, last year, the event raised $8,400 for the organization!
