our story
In the summer of '23, our founder got the idea to host a Christian music festival in Charlotte. After writing it off as a pipe dream, the idea came back months later as she felt the Holy Spirit tug on her heart. After long discussions with her team and much prayer, Seven Sixteen was born out of a need for clean entertainment and a desire to serve God's people.Seven Sixteen is a nod to Revelation 7:16, which says, "Never again shall they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,' nor any scorching heat."Whether it be a refill from the Holy Spirit, a new brother or sister in Christ, or a renewed or brand new relationship with God, through The Giver of all things good, you will not leave empty.
