We never host the same event twice 

American Revival adapts to the cities that welcome us. 

Every Revival begins with a phone call and a personal invitation. We show up with a handful of key ingredients, then meet with local artists, community leaders, and nonprofit partners to build something that resonates with the place they call home.

Memphis, TN

  • A group of children and young adults on stage at the American Revival event in Montgomery, some holding microphones and musical instruments, forming heart shapes with their hands, with a large screen displaying the event name behind them.

    Joy

    At American Revival, local school choirs share the stage with Grammy Award-winning musicians and poet laureates. We experience a miraculous joy when we look around and witness strangers sharing the same experience as us. It inspires us to ask: “What other new possibilities might we imagine together?”

  • Two women embracing each other on stage during a performance, with a microphone stand nearby, in front of a rocky blue-lit background.

    Connection

    Meet the people already living and working alongside you: service organizations, faith leaders, and fellow regulars at your coffee shop. This might be the first time all of you have been together in the same room, but it won’t be the last.

  • People at a booth or event, some engaging with each other, with a woman wearing a large colorful hat with puppet figures, and a woman smiling in a plaid shirt in the background.

    Action

    Every event includes a message and opportunities for reflection and conversation. At the heart of it all is one question: “What is your responsibility in this moment, in this place?”

Every experience ends with a postcard

Before you leave the room, you get two postcards. On one, you write a kindness to a stranger from another city. On the other, you write your address so a stranger’s kindness can find its way to you. 

It’s a beloved ritual and an act of faith that what you say might matter to someone you’ve never met.
