When I was a kid, my parents used to take me to the all night gospel sings in Mystic Georgia. Had not thought about that in a while.

I've been by the place many times but never to a sing. People older than me talk about all night sings under a big tent. They said it would get pretty interesting in the mid to wee hours.

Here is short story on Mystic which was built for singing conventions. Old turn of the century railroad maps show a couple of lines through Mystic.

Is this event still happening?

Edit
Google search shows it ended in 1977
