“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”Romans 15:13
Wild Hope is a two-day Christian music festival in the heart of North Dakota. Bring the whole family, your youth group, and your lawn chairs. We gather for nationally touring artists, local worship teams, a Sunday morning community worship service, and long late-summer evenings under the big prairie sky.
Every artist plays the same stage, so you never have to choose between sets. Regional worship bands and church youth teams open each day.
General admission is free for everyone, so bring the whole family. There's a Kids Zone with inflatable games for the kids.
Sunday at 10 AM, everyone gathers for a community worship service before the afternoon sets.
Artists are revealed in waves this winter and spring. Outlined names are slots still to be announced.
First artist reveal: February 2027. Join the list below to hear it first.

Jamestown sits right on I-94, about halfway between Fargo and Bismarck. It's the home of the World's Largest Buffalo, so stay an extra day and see the town.
Be sure to bring a lawn chair. Also pack sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, a light jacket for the evening, and bug spray. Prairie nights cool off quickly after sunset.
Wild Hope happens rain or shine. If there's lightning or severe weather, we pause the music and direct everyone to shelter. Follow the stage screens and staff for updates.

Hope Unleashed is the generosity campaign behind Wild Hope. Churches, businesses and families who give help bring this festival to Jamestown, allowing for hope to be UNLEASHED when you partner with us to give generously and joyfully.
Your donations go further than the production of this event. They go to further ministries and organizations who are being the hands and feet of Jesus.
