Purple Door
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Purple Door Christian music festival is held annually each August. The festival was first held in 1996 at the Lancaster Mennonite High School in Lancaster, PA. As it grew, it moved to the fairgrounds in Lebanon, PA, then to a ski resort in Lewisberry, PA, where it draws about 10,000 people each year. Previous bands have included Blindside, Ghoti Hook, Fold Zandura, Relient K, Danielson Family, Supertones, Aaron Sprinkle, Five Iron Frenzy, Sixpence None the Richer, Jars of Clay and P.O.D .
