Lifelight Festival Returns to Sioux Falls

The Lifelight Festival is coming back to Sioux Falls on Sunday, September 6, during Labor Day weekend. This dynamic Christian festival will once again feature multiple award-winning Christian artists and engaging speakers, all of whom are on a mission to bring God's words of love to the world.

Once again this year, the organizers will hold Lifelight Festival 2026 at Nelson Park. City officials and festival organizers agree that the Nelson Park area offers ample space for the growing number of participants, " while accommodating a wider array of family-friendly activities and offerings".
