How sweet the sound of Southern Gospel music! With more than 70 different groups and performers making their way to Silver Dollar City fall 2020, it's no wonder that Southern Gospel Picnic is one of America's Premier Southern Gospel events. For 12 days and nights, you'll see back-to-back concerts from chart-topping and award-winning artists.  Between shows, savor southern cooking at its finest at an all-you-care-to-eat feast at The House of Chicken & Fixin's and explore one of America's top theme parks. From the sound of sweet harmonies to the smell of fried chicken wafting through the air, you'll feel like you're back on grandpa's front porch listening to the family sing hymn after hymn.
