Creation East and West are two popular Christian music festivals. "Creation East" is the biggest Christian music festival in the world. "Creation East" is located in Mount Union, Pennsylvania, and "Creation West" at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington. The festivals feature today's popular contemporary Christian music, guest speakers, public baptisms, fireworks, extreme sports, and a candlelight service. Creation historyRev. Dr. Harry Thomas, Jr, and Timothy Landis founded Creation East in 1979 in a rural area known as Agape Farm. Harry Thomas is the director, and Timothy Landis is the producer. Thomas preaches a message at Creation every year, and Landis books the artists. Creation East has been held at Agape Farm every year except in 1996 and 2003, when it was moved to Hershey, PA due to rain. When the festival was located in Hershey, the concerts took place in the arenas which are part of the Hersheypark complex, such as Giant Stadium. Concert fans were offered a reduced price ticket to Hersheypark and camped alongside a large hill. Artists at Creation East 2005
