The State Annual Singing Convention, which brings thousands of people to Benson each year, began modestly in a tobacco warehouse in 1921. About 200 people listened to two choirs that day. Since that time, the State Annual Singing Convention has grown and become one of the largest and oldest gospel sings in the United States.
The singing is held outdoors in downtown Benson in a beautiful one-block oak grove located at 400 E Main St, Benson, NC 27504.
Some seating is provided; however, spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. There is no charge to attend the Sing. Singing begins at 10a.m. Saturday and the Worship Service will begin at 10:30a.m. on Sunday.
The Gospel Museum is open and free to the public on Saturday and Sunday. There is plenty of lodging in the area. Ample parking for buses is designated behind the stage area.
Greetings, southern gospel music fans, singers and supporters of the North Carolina State Annual Singing Convention. The 103rd State Annual Convention was a memorable celebration of God’s goodness and a blessing to all who attended. This fills the Board of Directors with great excitement for the 103rd State Annual Singing Convention, which is scheduled for June 21-23, 2024. Have a wonderful year, and we cannot wait to see everyone in 2024!
