From GraceFestAV Website:

Since the summer of August of 2007, GraceFest has been the Antelope Valley's Premier Christian Music and Message Festival. GraceFest reaches out to all people through the universal language of music and the gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ. This year celebrates the 11th annual event after bypassing year 2008 to better prepare for God's purpose and plan.

GraceFest is a community event for ALL to enjoy and has grown exponentially in its scope, reach, and popularity. Today's GraceFest is recognized as a premier evangelistic event among Christian's throughout Southern California uniting churches, hundreds of volunteers, and Christian artists with the singular goal of proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. GraceFest is recognized as one of the most important events in the valley as it unites the churches in the community and provides a great opportunity for Christians to fellowship with others outside of their own church.

Another important mission at GraceFest each year is collecting proceeds for local Christian schools scholarship programs in the Antelope Valley through the newly formed Communities for Christ (CFC) ministry nonprofit. GraceFest was founded by Ron and Yvette Emard in 2007 who produced the festival by way of their original nonprofit entity called The Kids Charities, a registered 501c3. As of Januray 2018 the founders, Ron and Yvette, continue GraceFest operations through CFC. Ron is the Dealer Principal at Antelope Valley Harley Davidson in Lancaster and his wife Yvette is the director of Communities for Christ. Both Ron and Yvette are known for their untiring devotion to kids and their community. The Emard's have been actively involved as private citizens and business leaders in the Antelope Valley since 1986. Year to date their charitable efforts have raised and dispersed over $5 million dollars for kids from various local fundraising events.
