We attended Unity Fest Day 2, out at Heritage Landing in Muskegon, Michigan, and although Unity has great Bands and Artists and is a multi-day event, it isn’t just about the music; it is far bigger than that! For over 25 years, the heart behind the Unity Christian Musical Festival has been bigger than music: Unity exists to strengthen and support nonprofit ministries, making an impact across our communities. Nonprofit ministries are given opportunities to connect directly with thousands of festival attendees through on-site booths and relationship-building opportunities during the event.
