The vibrant gospel festival GloryFest (G-26) is poised to make its triumphant return on April 18, 2026, at the Human Resource Centre in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia. Embracing the powerful theme ‘Faith, Praise, Thanksgiving,’ the event solidifies its status as a premier gathering for spiritual enrichment and creative expression.
Organized under the visionary leadership of gospel recording artist Pastor Carlton Brown, the festival has evolved into a significant cultural platform. It seamlessly blends inspirational ministry with dynamic musical performances, youth engagement, and substantial community impact, all while bolstering the island’s cultural tourism appeal.
This highly anticipated edition promises an eclectic roster of talent, showcasing a fusion of local, regional, and international gospel artists. The impressive lineup features renowned acts such as Jabez, the transnational Stacy Elevated (US/Jamaica), local sensation Dwayne Brown, the powerful vocals of Mnena (Nigeria/US), and Stephen Reeves (US). They will be joined by Manessa, Rehann Chitolie, Zidane, Anointed Glory, Schreffler, and the captivating performances of the New Season Dance Ministry.
Beyond the spiritual experience, the festival is anticipated to provide a significant economic boost to the local economy. Organizers project an attendance of over 500 patrons, including international visitors traveling specifically for the event, which will positively benefit local hospitality services, transportation providers, and small businesses.
