The Cantinas Music Festival was held at the Paso Robles Event Center on Saturday.
The event, which featured a Christian music concert and competition, included a free, family-style festival before the live concert took place at 6 p.m.
The finalists performed in front of more than 3,000 people and were judged by Candace Cameron-Bure, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Michael Van Dyck.
The concert featured Christian music groups "Newsboys," "MercyMe," "Kylie Hughes," and "Building 429," along with "The Groovaloos," an award-winning hip-hop troupe that recently performed on "Dancing With the Stars."
The competition was conducted by the Cantinas Ranch Foundation, a non-profit that encourages Christian teen values.
The finalists in the Worship Song Talent Contest were Kyle Davelaar, Kyler Gentry, and Dorcas Smith. They were selected from national online submissions, and the winner took home $2,000.
