8,000+ Gathered in Rochester Sunday for Free Concert (PHOTOS)

If you were having trouble finding a place to park in downtown Rochester, Minnesota on Sunday, the reason was probably because of the massive event happening at Soldier's Field.  Over 8,000 people got together to hear Franklin Graham speak and enjoy a free concert.

Sunday afternoon, people from all over Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa gathered in Rochester at Soldier's Memorial Field Park for The God Loves You Tour with Franklin Graham.  People brought their lawn chairs, blankets, and listened to amazing music from the Newsboys, Marcos Witt, and Dennis Agajanian on a gorgeous afternoon.

According to a press release, this evening and the entire tour is an outreach of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA). A group of more than 100 churches and pastors in the Rochester area also helped make this event happen because they believe the powerful message of the Bible needs to be shared in the region.
