City of Flowood Announces music lineup for 2024 Flowood Family Festival
The Flowood Family Festival returns to Liberty Park on May 11 and will feature contemporary Christian rock band, Casting Crowns, as the headliner. With over 13 million albums sold, 15 No. 1 radio singles, and several music awards, Casting Crowns is one of the most renowned Christian music groups of the modern era.
Rising Christian artist and powerhouse vocalist, Anne Wilson, will take the stage at 6:45 p.m. ahead of Casting Crowns. Wilson is currently one of Nashville’s most inspiring young trailblazers and is known for fusing the heart of contemporary Christian music with the sound of country.
Since 1999, the City of Flowood has hosted the Flowood Family Festival, an outdoor concert that kicks off the summer season with live music, kids’ activities, fair food, fireworks, and more. Free admission is made possible by the City of Flowood and Parks and Recreation sponsors.
The festival will open at 4 p.m. with space jumps and activities for the kids, food vendors from local Flowood restaurants, and live music from Light of Mine. A fireworks display will follow Casting Crown’s performance, which begins at 8:30 p.m.

Where It All Began
When the event first began in 1999, it was called “Flowood Family Picnic” and was held at Winner’s Circle Park. Suzy Bogguss was the first headlining artist for this new event, and artists including Brad Paisley, Steve Azar, and more took to the Winner’s Circle stage in the following years. The Winner’s Circle Park amphitheater was not made to fit 1,000 people, but the event always attracted well over that number.
By 2003, the Flowood Family Picnic grew into the name “Flowood Family Festival,” and by 2008, the event widely outgrew its venue too, resulting in the festival being hosted every year since at Flowood Liberty Park. The new venue was comprised of Flowood’s baseball and soccer fields, a hotspot for sports tournaments year-round, but Liberty Park also proved to be the perfect spot to host thousands of visitors, dozens of local food vendors, countless kid’s activities, and still have room for a large outdoor concert.
The event continues to grow with each year as several thousand visitors travel to Liberty Park each year to listen to their favorite artists under the stars and enjoy the welcoming, small-town feel of Flowood.
