July 6, 2026 – Panama City Beach, FL – On Saturday, October 24, 2026, Faith Festival returns to Panama City Beach for its second year at Aaron Bessant Park. From morning until night, the Festival will feature Christian music, entertainment, food and activities, kicking off at 9:30 AM with the Todd Herendeen Band performing God Bless America – and concluding at 6 PM. This event is free and open to the public.
Faith Festival 2026 will feature many of the same beloved vendors as were present last year, including Mika Goshien Designs, Taigi, She Free, and HomeMae'd Creations to name just a few. Food Truck favorites include Back Porch BBQ, City Streets, and Taste of Creole. From the big stage at Aaron Bessant Park, Festival goers will enjoy vibrant praise and worship music all afternoon by a variety of local bands. The Festival will also include children’s bouncy houses and games. As with Faith Festival 2025, a Prayer & Baptism Tent will provide one-on-one prayer by Faith Festival team members to uplift any hurts or needs of Festival goers, and community church tents will invite Festival goers in to learn about them and their church services.
The mission of Faith Festival is to bring Christians together, uniting many churches in worship with the singular goal of proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It is the goal to grow Faith Festival every year. Faith Festival proceeds benefit and bring awareness to its host, The Ark Transitional Housing Ministry in Panama City Beach, which provides transitional housing to those currently without a home, offering shelter, meals, prayer, and love.

Faith Festival 2026
The Ark Transitional Housing Ministry
In addition to Christian unity, Faith Festival seeks to raise funds for The Ark Transitional Housing Ministry. The Ark is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization which reaches out to those in need of shelter, providing temporary housing, clothes, food, and job placement; but its primary mission is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. There are currently over 100 precious souls that live at The Ark, many of which are children. It is the goal of the Festival team that sufficient funds be raised to not only cover the Festival’s overhead and production costs, but to raise funds to continue to improve and elevate the Ark’s residents’ lives. In 2025, Faith Festival raised $32,000 which allowed The Ark to purchase and install a playground for the children who live there. In 2026, we hope to raise funds to update The Ark’s Compassion Closet.
