Ichthus Festival Tickets are Now on Sale!

Tickets are now on sale for the Ichthus Festival, the nation's longest-running music festival with a message of hope, peace and love.

The  2014 event is returning after a one-year hiatus and will be held June 4-7 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky. The Ichthus Festival, which started in 1970, was saved in May 2013 by Creation Festivals,

which stepped in to revitalize the much-loved annual festival after financial problems caused it to close its doors.

This has brought the Ichthus Festival into a larger family of festivals that also includes Creation Northeast, Creation Northwest and Sonshine Festival. All of these events share similar vision, passion and mission to impact our current generation with a life-changing message of faith, hope and love.
