HeavenFest is an annual Christian music festival attracting tens of thousands of people each summer. The festival has been held in multiple cities along the Front Range of Colorado.

History

In its first two years, HeavenFest drew 12,500 and 23,000 people consecutively to the grounds of Northern Hills Church near Brighton, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. The 2010 event brought in the Scream the Prayer Tour while changing locations to a field in Longmont and drawing over 35,000 attendees. After one year in Longmont, The Ranch (Larimer County Fairgrounds and Events Complex) in Loveland became the new host of the festival. After 2 years in Loveland, organizers cancelled the 2013 event for "a year of rest." In July 2014 it was announced on HeavenFest's Facebook page that the festival would return under new ownership and management after a two year hiatus. The 2015 event was held August 7–8 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison and it was there they announced that HeavenFest would return to the dragstrip July 29th-30th 2016.
