Lansing Bless Fest weekend

Media Messengers, a local interdenominational nonprofit founded to “reveal the love and power of God” in unique and creative ways, will host its annual Bless Fest 1 to 9 p.m. Saturday at Adado Riverfront Park. The daylong concert will feature a variety of acts, from rock and hip-hop to gospel and world music. Attendees can also enjoy free food and bottled water; a kids’ fun zone with bounce houses, bubbles and games; a basketball three-point contest; raffles; and giveaways.

Two other events, also at the park, will bookend the festival: Lansing Flo-Fest 6 to 9 p.m. Friday (Aug. 23) and the One Gathering 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday (Aug. 25). The former will offer live hip-hop performances with family-friendly lyrics as well as a kids’ area, a basketball three-point contest, raffles and giveaways. The One Gathering will be a nondenominational worship service with music by the Chosen Worship Band and Johnathan Crutcher & GCM.

All events are free, and bottled water, seating and shade tents will be provided. For more information, visit mediamessengers.org.
