“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope.”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, 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.
The Main Stage for headliners, and the Prairie Stage for regional bands, youth worship teams and acoustic sets.
General admission is free for everyone, so bring the whole family. There's a Kids Zone with crafts, games and a puppet show both afternoons.
Sunday begins at dawn with an outdoor worship service. Coffee is on us.
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.

Get VIP Ticket AlertsRV and tent sites are open Thursday at 6:00 PM through Sunday at 12:00 PM. Camping passes do not include festival admission, so every camper also needs a General Admission or VIP ticket. Prices go up as the festival gets closer and include applicable fees.
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.
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.
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.
Food and drinks are for sale on the festival grounds. Campers may carry in food and drinks at their RV or campsite only, and may bring one sealed bottle of water per person into the festival grounds. The festival is alcohol-free and smoke-free.
