 | Unity Christian Music Festival (Unity) is a three day Christian music festival held annually during the month of August at Heritage Landing in Muskegon, Michigan. |
| Unity was started in 2001 to bring Christians together for public praise, worship and fellowship; to provide a wholesome, family valued entertainment alternative and to raise funds and recruit volunteers for area Christian ministries. The Festival is presented by Alive on the Lakeshore, an all volunteer group of local Christians who want to present wholesome, Christ centered, family valued entertainment options in West Michigan. The festival is a member of the Christian Festival Association. Average per day attendance ranges from 9,000 on Thursday to over 20,000 on Saturday. Artists who have played at Unity include Relient K, Hawk Nelson, Anointed, Steven Curtis Chapman, Geoff Moore, Petra, Chris Rice, Phil Keaggy, Mark Schultz, Jars of Clay, The Newsboys, Chris Tomlin and Michael W. Smith. Unity 2008 will be held from August 7 to 9. Most of their schedule is yet to be announced. So far Unity has Stellar Kart on its tentative schedule for Day Zero (August 6). Stellar Kart (see photo) is a Christian pop punk band from Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The band is signed to Word and released its first album in February 2005. Their album, We Can't Stand Sitting Down was released on July 25, 2006. The album's first single "Me and Jesus" hit #1 for 7 weeks on the Hot Christian Songs chart and won the 2007 Dove Award for "Rock/Contemporary Recorded Song".
