Join The Community At The Lifelight Festival In Sioux Falls

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".

Lifelight is revealing its high-profile performers, too. Grammy-nominated and Dove-award-winning Danny Gokey is bringing an inspirational message with him. Chart-topping hip-hop artist KB, one of the most influential voices in Christian hip-hop, will be joining him.

Also a Dove-award nominee, Cochren & Co is bringing their music and message to Sioux Falls. There will be additional performances from Rhett Walker, Emerson Day, Momentum Worship, and more.

Special Guest: Willie Robertson

The festival will also feature a special appearance from Willie Robertson, best known as CEO of Duck Commander and a central figure on the hit television series Duck Dynasty. Robertson is also a New York Times bestselling author, an entrepreneur, and an "outspoken man of faith".

At LifeLight, Robertson will share from his personal journey, offering a message that blends humor, real-life experience, and a clear presentation of faith—connecting with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

Once again this year, all of this amazing entertainment will be presented for free.

In addition to live music and speaking, attendees can enjoy action sports performances, a dedicated kids area, local vendors, food trucks, and a variety of interactive activities throughout the day.
