By Sponsored Content May 26, 2015
Are you looking for something fun, family oriented and affordable to do this summer? Do you enjoy music in the great outdoors?  If so, then check out Replenish Festival!  This July 10th through 12th faith-based music festival will be held in Floyd County on the Burnett Farm located in Willis, VA.  Just a short drive from Roanoke and the New River Valley, you won’t spend a lot of your vacation dollars in gas for the car, and if you like to camp, you won’t spend all your funds on hotels.  

Replenish Ministries, Inc., a non-profit organization based out of southwest Virginia, is excited to introduce the first annual Replenish Festival to our area and surrounding communities.  With the vision to unite our communities together to enjoy a positive atmosphere with a purpose, Replenish Festival expects to be fresh, original, exciting, and uplifting.  The organization’s goal is the “replenish” people’s lives through worship music, prayer and ministry.  You will likely leave the festival feeling closer than ever before to what God has in store for you.  

Replenish Festival is a faith, family, and fun music festival that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. Come replenish your heart, soul, and mind in the Lord when you attend Replenish Festival.  

The festival will have something for EVERYONE in the family!  There will be great music on two stages from local and regional bands and artists, a Kids Zone with inflatables, games and more!  You can also enjoy food from various food vendors and shop with merchandise vendors.  Bring your camping gear and feel free to stay all weekend long.  Gates will open on Friday, July 10th beginning at noon!  Camping is free all weekend long with the purchase of your festival ticket.  Adult tickets are just $25 for early-bird pricing and $30 at the gate.  Children 4-12 are $8 in advance and $10 at the gate.  Kids 3 and under are FREE.  And if you are bringing a group of 15 persons or more, you’ll get a $2 discount per ticket when bought in advance!  

Don’t have a tent or camping supplies?  No problem!  Replenish Festival has teamed up with Project Shelter, so if you don’t have a tent and need to purchase one, or if you need camping supplies, Project Shelter will be on-site to help furnish festival-goers with any essential needed for the weekend.  The Burnett Farm location also offers space for campers and RV’s as well.  And if you are not into camping, links on the website offer nearby places to stay.

Stay for the day or the whole weekend!  One ticket covers you!  On Friday night you can enjoy music and an outdoor movie or join in community at the bonfire.  On Saturday, July 11th there will be a morning church service under the main tent, more music throughout the day on both stages, a continued active Kids Zone, and a major concert in the evening.  The main acts on Saturday evening will begin with the band Brightwork, followed by The JJ Weeks Band, and finishing up the night with Eddie James. 

The Brightwork band is based out of Roanoke, Virginia. Brightwork is an up and coming band that has toured around the country and offers an alternative worship sound. The JJ Weeks Band is based out of Macon, Georgia. The JJ Weeks Band is a national touring act whose songs can be heard on Spirit FM radio and other faith-based radio stations.  Eddie James Ministries is a high energy concert filled with worship music, rappers, and dance teams. Eddie James Ministries is a worldwide traveling evangelistic team. 

We will wrap up the festival on Sunday morning with a time of ministry for all those who want to attend. Communion and baptisms will also be conducted for those who wish to participate. So come for a day or come for the weekend, but come for what could be the most exciting event of the summer!
