>>>>> IMPORTANT SHINEFEST UPDATE <<<<<
Our hearts and prayers remain with everyone in our community impacted by the recent Spokane fires. In light of the current fire/smoke conditions and in consultation with the ShineFest artists and Riverfront Park, we have made the decision to adjust our upcoming ShineFest plans into TWO distinct nights of hope and encouragement.
The first was August 7th, with Terrian and The Afters, the second night is coming right up!
ShineFest 2026 (Rescheduled)
When: Friday, August 28th, 5:30pm
Where: Lilac Bowl at Riverfront Park
Featuring: Colton Dixon, Jon Micah Sumrall (lead singer of Kutless), and Riley Anderson
Purpose: Our rescheduled listener appreciation worship in the park concert.

Gate/Doors will open approximately an hour before show's listed start time. With RSVP Early Entry open a half-hour before Main Gate/Doors.
NON-TICKETED EVENT - SUGGESTED DONATION
These are NON-ticketed and non-profit events. Offered as a gift to the community, we try to keep ShineFest events inexpensive so that as many listeners and families can attend as possible. To help offset the expense of the staging, production and artists, specifically for the Riverfront Park ShineFest event, we do suggest a donation of $20 per attendee (see our special 'Family Rate' noted below). Children 6 and under are free at ShineFest.
The Riverfront Park Shinefest event will feature food vendors and nonprofit ministry booths. We also invite families to a kid's fair in Riverfront Park hosted that same day from 4-6pm. At ShineFest, we recommend bringing water to stay hydrated. Provide your own seating. We also will be collecting cans of non-perishable food to support local food banks at the Riverfront Park event.
