Spirit West Coast
July 30 - August 1
Laguna
Seca
The annual Northern/Central California Spirit
West Coast festival takes place at the Laguna
Seca Recreation Area (Monterey) on July 30 -
Aug 1. Most of the artists appearing at the
Del Mar festival also appear in Monterey, but
there are always some who appear just at one
or the other. It's common to find people to
attend both festivals, and fans agree that
the summer Monterey event is a very different
experience from the Del Mar spring event. The
festivals do have many core things in common:
multiple stages, dozens of artists, great
teaching, camping, children's activities and
ministry, all in a resort vacation area
setting. Although each event does have its
own nuances and character, they both share
the common purpose of presenting the Gospel
of Jesus Christ and celebrating faith in Him.
