Gospel artists headed to Adderley Amphitheater


Tallahassee has proven that Mother Nature can’t match the force of gospel music. Three years ago, national gospel star Todd Dulaney was set to perform at the Cascades Park with the praise team from Tallahassee’s Family Worship and Praise Center. But then inclement weather forced a relocation to The Moon.

Despite the location change, fans filled the iconic venue. It was that community response that planted the seed for a similar event spreading love, community, and positivity on a broader scale in the minds of event organizers, Pastor Quincy Griffin of Family Worship and Praise Center, and Kerri Post, director of Leon County’s Division of Tourism, also known as Visit Tallahassee.

Last year, Post reached out to Griffin inquiring about a gospel music festival being included as part of the city’s year-long bicentennial celebration.

“Events are great motivators for traveling,” Post told the Tallahassee Democrat. “He wanted to have the event at the amphitheater, but it rained so due to inclement weather it had to be moved. But it still brought people from all over North Florida and South Georgia.”
