Six Flags over

Georgia has long been known for their wide assortment of exciting rides,

fun games and entertaining shows. The amusement park will have even more

fun this week as Atlanta Fest, the southeast's largest Christian music

festival, returns for its 17th year.

Atlanta Fest

brings in the top contemporary Christian artists along with guest speakers

and a slew of activities for visitors to the festival. Among the group's

playing at this year's festival are Jars of Clay

(which recently won a Grammy award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album),

Audio Adrenaline, Toby Mac, Sixpence None The Richer, Mercy Me, Relient

K and many, many more.

Some of the

nation's leading Christian speakers, including David Nasser, Jay Strack,

Russ Lee and Bart Millard (of Mercy Me). Special Guests The Skit Guys

will host all shows on the Ingles Main Stage.

New to Atlanta

Fest this year are seminars open to all participants presented by Focus

on the Family and The Atlanta Fest Foundation, as well as three separate

stages running concurrently each afternoon within the theme park, featuring

Praise and Worship, Contemporary Christian and New Artist Showcase formats.

Also new to Atlanta Fest 2003 is the Atlanta area's regional competition

in the national Christian Music Talent Search. Returning to Atlanta Fest

this year is the "Prayer Labyrinth" which gives participants

an opportunity to encounter God on a personal level.
