SeaWorld Orlando’s Praise Wave concert series has already begun with performances from Steven Curtis Chapman and Lecrae over the past two weekends, but the fun is far from over. Two new performances have been added to the lineup.
The new additions to the Christian music concert series add dates on two Sundays in February and extend the event through Sunday, February 11.
