Music in the Rockies


Music in the Rockies was a week-long festival held in Estes Park, Colorado, which featured a combination of seminars, competitions, concerts, and events related to Contemporary Christian Music, other kinds of Christian music, and the Christian music industry. An event called Immerse has replaced it.

History

The event started in 1975 as Seminar in the Rockies, launched by Christian Artists' Corp's president Cam Floria. In 2000, the Gospel Music Association began to operate most of the event. In 2004, they changed the event's name to GMA Music in the Rockies. The event/festival was held at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park southwest of Fort Collins. Both "Music in the Rockies" and "Seminar in the Rockies" had a series of concerts in the evenings, with some notable performers and attendees. The 34th annual event was held from August 3 to 9, 2008.
In 2009, the event was replaced by Immerse held in Nashville. Immerse is run by the Gospel Music Association and LifeWay Christian Resources. Immerse features a series of seminars and has a competition with several categories. There is an overall winner.
