Creation Festival is a series of popular Christian music festivals held in the United States. The original festival began in 1979 at Muddy Run Park in southern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania until 1984 when the Northeast festival was moved to Agape Farm in Mount Union, Pennsylvania. [1] Starting in 1998, the festival expanded to the west with the addition of "Creation Northwest" (formally Creation West) which is held at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington. Because of the addition of the new festival, the original festival has become known as "Creation Northeast". The festivals feature popular Christian rock, contemporary, and worship music, a fringe stage (mostly for newer and harder Rock bands), guest speakers, public baptisms, communion, fireworks, extreme sports, and a candlelight service. The festival is a member of the Christian Festival Association.

Creation history

Rev. Dr. Harry Thomas, Jr, and Timothy Landis founded Creation East in 1979 in Muddy Run Park in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where the popularity led to the event moving to a rural area known as Agape Farm in Mount Union, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. Harry Thomas is the director, and Timothy Landis is the producer. Thomas preaches a message at Creation every year, and Landis books the artists.

The festival was canceled in 1995 and 2006 because of rain, and in 1996 and 2003, held in Hershey, PA. When the festival was located in Hershey, the concerts took place in the arenas which are part of the Hersheypark complex, also where PIAA football championships are held, along with the Big 33 game. Concert fans were offered a reduced price ticket to Hersheypark and camped alongside a large hill.
