In the heart of Las Vegas, a city renowned for its vibrant entertainment scene, a groundbreaking event is set to unfold. TheRoarFest, scheduled for April 13th and 14th at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, is dedicated to worship music, unity, love, community, and healing. This two-day worship festival is not just an event, it’s a fellowship aiming to unite individuals from diverse backgrounds in a celebration that transcends mere musical entertainment.
At the core of TheRoarFest’s inception was Sharelle Mendenhall, Founder and CEO, who envisioned a gathering where churches, ministries, and charities could come together for a higher cause. Fueled by the question of why there wasn’t a Coachella or EDC equivalent for worship and fellowship in Las Vegas—a city that doubles as one of the world’s top destinations for entertainment and hospitality—Mendenhall set out to fill this gap. Her vision quickly gained traction among music connections, business leaders, and local charities. Remarkably, within 48 hours of her outreach efforts, her idea was embraced unanimously.
This rapid endorsement speaks to the festival’s core message, pulled from the words of Jesus, “They will know you are my disciples by the love you have for one another.”
TheRoarFest will offer an unmatched festival experience through its meticulously curated lineup of national artists and speakers, as well as local talent, creating an ambiance unparalleled in most conventional events. High-profile names gracing the stages include Rave Jesus, Jake Hamilton, Joe L Barnes, Poets Prophets (featuring Mitch Wong, Tommy Iceland, Rebekah White, and Josh Farro) Leonard and Genise Jarmin, Sean and Erin Bolger, Central Live, Andrew Limas, Liafaith, Kenny Peavy, and The Watch Worship among others showcasing their extraordinary talents.
To elevate the attendee experience further, TheRoarFest has partnered with Great American Foodie Festival. Third Street will be transformed into a culinary haven featuring food trucks, local chefs, and coffee carts.
Beyond music and food lies TheRoarFest’s commitment to creating lasting community impact making it more than just another Las Vegas event. It aims at fostering deep connections between attendees and local churches and organizations offering avenues for continued partnerships.
This initiative opens doors for attendees to not only experience divine connection through worship music but also engage with a broader community, embrace hope, and find healing and transformation on personal and collective levels. As Sharelle Mendenhall succinctly puts it “TheRoarFest isn’t merely about assembling people together; it’s about igniting change and creating moments that leave enduring imprints on lives.”
As preparations are underway, excitement builds up among those anticipating what promises to be a transformative event for all ages and backgrounds.
Anyone looking to experience the love of Christ like never before is welcome to join. By securing tickets and extending invitations to friends and family, participants are guaranteed an unforgettable encounter filled with love, faith, and inspiration.
As Las Vegas prepares to host the first worship festival of this magnitude, excitement can be felt city-wide among local churches and ministries big and small. TheRoarFest is anticipated to be a beacon of hope like an oasis in the desert, bringing people together under the name of Jesus.
