More than 25 gospel soloists and groups will be performing in Floyd Community Park Friday and Saturday, Sept. 8 and 9, and performing in area churches on Sunday, Sept. 10.

The 2017 Floyd Gospel Sing gets underway Friday morning, featuring a wide range of musicians, quickly switching from one group to another from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Some of the same performers and some new groups will appear on Saturday, also running from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The Floyd Gospel Sing was started in 1995 by Pastor Paul and Dixie Phillips of the Gospel Lighthouse Church in Floyd. Proceeds from the annual event go to support the Lighthouse Academy Christian school.

Noted performers include Master’s Voice Quartet and The Williamsons from Oklahoma, Paul’s Journey from Texas and Mark Dubbeld Family from Virginia.
