Change of Location
Gospel Fest will now be held at Viejas Arena instead of Campus Lot 13.
Get ready for Prayze on the Yard, an extension of CSU Super Sunday hosted by San Diego State University! Get connected to SDSU's learning community and learn more about higher education at this event featuring food, vendors and free gospel music. Don't miss out on performances by Jason McGee & The Choir, as well as a selection of praise teams, talented choirs and dancers from throughout San Diego.
SDSU Gospel Fest, which was held for the first time in 2019, brings leaders from the faith-based community together with SDSU leaders with the goals of encouraging K-12 students to pursue higher education and of highlighting the California State University system’s Graduation Initiative 2025, designed to eliminate achievement gaps. Other CSU universities also partner with faith leaders on events that emphasize partnerships and the importance of higher education.

FREE PARKING is provided in Lot 12.
