As part of a cost-cutting measure, the City of Chicago is merging some of its standalone music festivals, including Gospel Fest, into Taste of Chicago….which means Gospel Fest shrinks to one day, down from three at its apex.  I agree with Pastor DeAndre Patterson: it stinks.  Read more here:  Chicago Gospel Fest.

NOTE: Chicago Gospel Fest 2011 will be held Sunday, June 26.

    Yes I agree it stinks, why don’t they mill the taste with the blues fest? Gospel fest is not to be mixed with the beer drinking the taste brings, it is on a higher level, Gods level.
