About Our Elevation Concert
The Elevation Concert is a free annual musical event in Stockbrook Park, right in the heart of the City of Derby.
The Elevation Concert replaces the Derby Big Lunch event which RCCG Solid Rock Derby has been hosting for over 10 years now, although with a 2-year break due to COVID.
The last event, hosted at Stockbrook Park on Sunday 2nd June 2019, was a huge success – well attended by around 500 members of the community with rave reviews and feedback from the Community. The event featured established musical artists such as Dayo Bello, Nicky Whyman, SRP Voices as well as cultural dance performance from the Derbyshire Chinese Welfare Dance Group, the Cultural Roots Carnival Troup Derby (official sponsors of the DWCA Derby Caribbean Carnival) and the Derby West Indian Community Group.
This year, we are expecting an even stronger attendance (in excess of 1,000) and have a strong lineup of artists, outdoor activities and games for children, free food and drinks, and plenty of free gifts to give away.
How you can get involved
It would be great to see local people, projects and businesses helping us to shape this event so that it really reflects the true spirit of the town and creates a positive vision of Derby and its community.
We are always looking for ideas about how best to showcase what’s great in Derby. We would love to hear from you and invite you to showcase your work.
In the future, it is planned to have stalls available for people to use but we very much hope that we could include different activities to engage people e.g., craft tables, play activities, different community groups in Derby etc.
Other ways to support this event is through kind donations supporting the Concert (link at the top of the page) and by spreading the word.
If you are interested in getting involved or can offer support, please email [email protected] or call 07766054917 and we can arrange to have a chat about your ideas and how you would like to be involved.
Like its predecessor, the Elevation Concert celebrates all things community and what’s great about Derby. It is an avenue for bringing together people of diverse backgrounds and cultures from across the UK to celebrate our faith in Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the world and also encourage community cohesion.
