Two days under the big sky
Worship where the prairie meets the sky
Wild Hope is a two-day Christian music festival in the heart of North Dakota. Bring the whole family, your youth group, or your lawn chairs and a blanket. We gather for nationally touring artists, local worship teams, a sunrise prayer service, and long late-summer evenings under the big prairie sky.
2 Stages
The Main Stage for headliners, and the Prairie Stage for regional bands, youth worship teams and acoustic sets.
Family first
Kids 10 and under get in free. There's a Kids Zone with crafts, games and a puppet show both afternoons.
Sunrise worship
Sunday begins at dawn with an outdoor worship service. Coffee is on us.

FAQ
What should I bring?
A blanket or low-back lawn chair, sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, a light jacket for the evening, and bug spray. Prairie nights cool off quickly after sunset.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Can I bring food and drinks?
Sealed water bottles and small snacks are welcome. Coolers are allowed in the campground. The festival is alcohol-free and smoke-free.
Do kids need a ticket?
Children 10 and under get in free with a paying adult. Kids 11 and up need their own pass. Every child gets a wristband at the gate with a parent's phone number on it.
Is the festival accessible?
Yes. There's an accessible viewing platform at both stages, accessible restrooms, and drop-off near the main gate. Contact us ahead of time and we'll help you plan.
Can my church's worship team play the Prairie Stage?
We'd love to hear from you. Prairie Stage applications open in January. Join the list below and choose "Worship team" to get the application.
