Your weekend, simplified
Choose what your weekend looks like. Your private plan stays on this device, works offline after the guide is saved, and can be changed anytime.
Your festival plan
Friday: aim for 6:00 PM. Saturday: aim for 9:30–9:40 AM if you want the opening and the easiest arrival.
Build at least 20 extra minutes into the plan. Parking is limited, and event-day signs or volunteer directions should take priority over an old screenshot.
Choose a spot near the edge of the lawn, arrive with someone you know, and treat the schedule as an invitation—not an obligation. Nobody needs you to perform or have the right words.
Pack for this plan
Event layouts, transit and traffic can change. Recheck official updates and on-site signs before travelling. Need mobility, sensory or support planning? Open the accessibility guide or email hello@jesusfestival.ca.
