VALDOSTA, Ga. (WALB) - VocalFlo hosts the third Annual South Georgia Gospel Music Festival in celebration of Black Music Month in Valdosta.

The event will be held on Saturday, June 7, at Unity Park in Downtown Valdosta from 3-8 p.m.

African-American Music Appreciation Month, also known as Black Music Month, has been recognized in June since 1979.

The month of June is set aside to appreciate the contributions of African-American musicians, composers, singers, and songwriters in American culture. The month honors the history and rich African traditions that gave birth to different styles of music such as rap, hip-hop, jazz, rhythm and blues, barbershop, and swing. Gospel music, or sacred music, has influenced all genres of music, which is why it is the chosen genre to highlight during this festival, according to organizers.

Attendees will experience performances by gospel groups, soloists, rappers, and musicians. This event is free and open to the public. Lawn chairs, sun tents, and blankets are highly recommended.

This year’s featured non-profit is Lowndes Associated Ministries to People Inc. (LAMP). All donations collected throughout the month of June will be presented to LAMP on July 1, 2025.
