Nashville, TN (October 22, 2009) - America's largest Christian music and teaching festivals, the Creation
Festivals, announce a new venue for the annual Creation Northwest. Creation 2010 is “going green” with
this exciting new move. After twelve amazing years in the high desert and extreme heat at the Gorge
Amphitheater; Creation Festival Northwest is moving to the picturesque, green valley at Enumclaw Expo
Center in Enumclaw, Washington.

The Enumclaw Expo Center, also known as the home to the King County Fair, will be the perfect setting
to carry on the Creation tradition of paying “Tribute to our Creator." Generations have come to love and
cherish the seclusion of the Creation Festivals - the Enumclaw Expo Center carries on this tradition with
spectacular views of Mt. Rainier and the beautiful landscape of the great Northwest.

"We are extremely excited to see God provide this great new venue for Creation Festival Northwest. God
continually amazes us with His grace and provision. What a gorgeous place with Mt. Rainier as the backdrop
for the camping areas and the Fairgrounds;" says Pastor Harry Thomas, co-founder and director of
the Creation Festivals. "As Creation 2010 Northwest embraces the beauty of Mt. Rainier, green valleys
and cooler temperatures, we are believing for the Lord to do great things for the thousands in attendance.”
The Enumclaw Expo Center in Enumclaw, Washington is conveniently accessible to many of the
Northwest's major metropolitan cities. This close proximity will allow for a better commute for fans and
ticket purchasers, while putting major highways, hotels and the like within a short driving distance.

The new dates for Creation 2010 Northwest are July 21 - July 24, 2010. This summer will prove to be
another stellar festival, as Creation provides an experience like none other with jam packed entertainment,
world renowned speakers, exciting festival extras, and much more.

The 31st annual, Creation Northeast will be held June 24th – 27th at the Agape Farm in the beautiful mountain ranges of Mount Union, PA., and Creation Northwest will be marking its 12th year at the amazing Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA July 22nd – 25th.  Tickets are available now through www.creationfest.com.

Creation Festival Co-Founder and Director, Pastor Harry Thomas states, "Creation is more than just fun and entertainment – it is a spiritually rewarding and enriching experience.  Nothing can compare to tens of thousands of people praising God together, being a part of the candle-lighting service, or even or watching young people being baptized.  We have ensured that the Festival features more than music and speaking and provides an overall experience that challenges Christians to be vessels and on fire for Christ – what happens at Creation changes one's walk with their Savior."  

Providing for an intimate time of worship is an important goal at Creation.  In doing so, Creation will partner with Integrity Music to provide a deeply enriching time of praise and worship each afternoon.  In addition, the worship tent will offer a training conference for worship leaders, musicians and writers each afternoon.  With distinct seminar classes ranging from songwriting to hands-on training for bands, worship leaders and musicians will have a rare opportunity to come together for teaching and fellowship.

The Creation Festival also strives to provide resources that will make the event an even better learning tool.  Every afternoon there are special seminars on a variety of topics from keynote speakers.  Creation has once again teamed up with Interlinc to provide youth leaders with excellent seminars and other resources, including a daily afternoon seminar lead by various festival speakers, talkback sessions where Group Leaders can meet and have candid discussions with some of the most popular artists appearing at the Festival, and a "VIP Youth Leader Tent," where leaders can get out of the sun, enjoy free snacks, look through an assortment of free literature and resources, and share ideas with other Youth Leaders.

An event for the entire family, both Creation Northeast and Northwest also feature a "Kid's Tent," which will have a program geared especially for children, including PureNRG, the Donut Man, the Bigsby Show, Phredd, the Stephen Courtney Band and Ryan and Friends will be joined by the Forgotten Friend Reptile Rescue.   Each afternoon, kids gather under the trees in the “Kids Grove” for a special craft time, puppets and access to the petting zoo.

Creation provides additional entertainment and special features for all in attendance, including extreme games with climbing walls, spider jumps and sumo wrestling, a Skateboard and BMX ministry, a Gear Giveaway and a vendor Exhibit area with almost 200 booths with an assortment of merchandise and apparel available for purchase and ministries and colleges offering free literature and information.

While Creation continues to add to its overall entertainment and artist line-up, the festival has not raised prices in over a year and continues to be one of the most affordable summer events.  Advance tickets range from $46.00 – $99.00 per person for the entire four day festival, providing the attendees with jam-packed entertainment, lodging and more for about $20.00 per day.  On top of deeper discounts offered thru Creation's group rates, Creation offers free tickets to kids under 5 and has also established the "Carpooling to Creation" contest and the "Ticket Payment Plan" to help families and groups spread their dollars even further.  

Nick Kulb, Director of Marketing & Sales sates "We stand by our loyal fans and hope to provide them with a fun, safe and enjoyable summer vacation for one low price.  We trust the measures we have taken to keep costs low, as well as the new ticketing options offered, will help make the trip a little easier for every attendee."
