Music in the Rockies was a week-long festival held in Estes Park, Colorado which featured a combination of seminars, competitions, concerts, and events related to Contemporary Christian Music, other kinds of Christian music, and the Christian music industry. An event called Immerse has replaced it.[1]

History

The event started in 1975 as Seminar in the Rockies, launched by Christian Artists' Corp's president Cam Floria.[2][3][4] In 2000, the Gospel Music Association (GMA) began to operate most of the event.[5] In 2004, they changed the event's name to GMA Music in the Rockies.[6][7] The event/festival was held at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park southwest of Fort Collins. Both "Music in the Rockies" and "Seminar in the Rockies" had a series of concerts in the evenings, with some notable performers and attendees. The 34th annual event was held from August 3 to 9, 2008.

In 2009, the event was replaced by Immerse held in Nashville.[1] Immerse is run by the Gospel Music Association and LifeWay Christian Resources.[8][9] Immerse features a series of seminars and has a competition with several categories. There is an overall winner.
