Palau to Bring Festival to State Capitol Grounds
Luis Palau of the Luis Palau Evangelistic Association (LPEA), will bring his trademark evangelistic festival to the Twin Cities August 7th and 8th for a massive, two-day free event on the state capitol grounds in St. Paul. The Twin Cities Festival with Luis Palau, running from noon to 10 PM each day, will offer “great music and good news” featuring major Christian entertainers (TobyMac, Third Day, Point of Grace, Stacie Orrico, Jump 5, Casting Crowns, and Hezekiah Walker), food courts, a children’s play area, a sports zone featuring pro athletes, and an extreme sports showcase staged on a custom-built 9600 square foot skate park.
The Portland, Oregon-based Luis Palau Evangelistic Association is producing the event--expected to draw tens of thousands--with the support of area churches and the contributions of local businesses, agencies and individuals.
Earlier this year, Palau went to Washington to connect with representatives of the 200+ churches that were considering a possible Luis Palau festival in the nation’s capitol.
