Crossover Christian Music Festival
Lake of the Ozarks
The Lake of the Ozarks plays host to two major events related to Christian music. While The Great Lake of the Ozarks Gospel Sing is an event that brings together traditional Christmas music, the Crossover Christian Music Festival brings together some of the most famous artists of contemporary Christian music. The latter is an event of large proportions and in one of the most eagerly awaited events in the field of Christian music.
The first instance of this event can be traced back to 1997 when it was organized in conjunction with traditional music. The Christian volunteers who conducted the event decided to have separate events to celebrate the traditional and contemporary music forms. Thus, from the year 2001, the Gospel Sing and the Crossover festivals are being conducted separately.
The Stoneridge Amphitheater, located in Camdenton, will play host to this two day event which will be witnessed by thousands of people from various part of the country. The Christian Crossover Music Festival will feature performances by, not only some famous professional bands, but also from some new and upcoming bands.
