Jesus Festival Hamilton 2026: Thank You—and All Glory to God

Jesus Festival 2026 has ended—and it was absolutely amazing. Hamilton gathered at Gage Park to worship Jesus, hear the Gospel, celebrate baptism, serve neighbours and build relationships across the city. We give God all the glory.

“Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory.”

Psalm 115:1 (KJV)

The first reports from the weekend

Testimonies are still coming in. As of September 6, 2026, the Jesus Festival team has reported 70+ salvations and 50+ baptisms so far. More than 3,000 hot dogs and drinks were shared with the community, and the team reported a record turnout for Jesus Festival this year.

These are preliminary ministry reports, not a scoreboard. They may be updated as follow-up continues. Every number represents a person with a name and a story known by God. We celebrate the fruit, and we return every bit of praise to Jesus.

“So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.”

1 Corinthians 3:7 (KJV)

To every volunteer: we love you guys

So many people put so much work into making this weekend possible. You prayed before anyone arrived. You lifted, carried, cooked, welcomed, directed, cleaned, served families, stood ready to help, stayed late and kept loving people when you were tired. Many acts of service were never seen from the stage, but they mattered deeply. Thank you.

Jesus Festival could not happen through a platform or a small team alone. It happens because ordinary people make themselves available to God and serve with extraordinary love. To every volunteer: we see you, we honour your yes and we love you.

Thank you to every artist, ministry, vendor and partner

To the worship teams, artists, speakers and ministries: thank you for bringing your gifts, your stories and your wholehearted worship. You helped lift one name over Hamilton.

To the vendors, community partners and everyone who helped create a joyful place for families: thank you for showing up and supporting the vision. Please continue to support the amazing artists, ministries, makers and vendors you discovered at Jesus Festival. Watch the official Jesus Festival Instagram and Jesus Festival Facebook page as moments and featured partners from the weekend are shared.

Thank you to everyone who came

Thank you for coming to Gage Park. Thank you for worshipping, inviting, bringing your family, sharing a post, sending the details to a friend and helping spread the word. Whether you served for months or arrived for one song, you became part of this story.

Keep the fire burning

The festival has ended, but the mission has not. Our encouragement is simple: make yourself available to the Lord’s leading every single day. Pray. Notice the one in front of you. Share Jesus. Serve your neighbourhood. Take the love, courage and unity of Gage Park into ordinary Monday mornings.

“The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.”

Leviticus 6:13 (KJV)
