Indiana Gospel Music Festival

The Indiana Gospel Music Festival (IGMF) is an annual event held on the last weekend of July, showcasing some of the best Southern Gospel artists from Indiana through combined concerts. In 2024, it takes place on July 27 at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall in Noblesville, Indiana. The venue is handicapped accessible, and the event features quartets, trios, duos, and solo artists performing gospel music. The festival atmosphere is centered around worship and Southern Gospel music appreciation, drawing gospel music fans from across the state and beyond.

The event usually runs as a one-day or two-day festival (historically the last Friday and Saturday in July), with multiple gospel music ministries performing throughout. Concerts highlight a rich variety of Southern Gospel styles in a friendly and spiritually uplifting environment. Besides musical performances, the festival supports a gathering space for fans and artists to engage through networking and fellowship.

The Indiana Gospel Music Festival is organized by the Indiana Gospel Music Association and is often accompanied by additional local concerts, seminars, and artist retreats. The festival has a longstanding tradition of promoting gospel music across Indiana and can also provide gospel concerts at other venues across the state upon request.
