The 88th Tri-State Gospel Singing Convention will take place Sunday, June 8th, 2008 (10:00 am - 4:00 pm), at Bullitt Park in Big Stone Gap, Virginia!


All roads read to the historic town of Big Stone Gap, Virginia, located on the "Trail of The Lonesome Pine."  The big event is the annual Tri-State Singing Convention.  This famed Convention was first held in June, 1921 by C. W. Waddell at beautiful Bullitt Park and was called the Wise County Singing Convention.  It was borne of a love for good gospel singing and has gone beyond the wildest dreams of the people who fathered it. 

The Tri-State Gospel Singing Convention is known as the oldest and largest event of its kind in the United States, having attracted crowds in excess of 15,000.


As always, admission is free!
