Event Details

Absolutely! We could use all the help we can get. Head over to our Volunteer page to submit your application. Every role matters and every heart to serve is deeply valued.

Yes! Admission to Jesus Festival is free and no ticket is required. Some community food and activities are offered at no charge; independent food trucks and vendors may charge for purchases. If you feel led, we would love for people to prayerfully consider partnering with us financially to help make this event possible each year.

Yes. There are two free lots, both marked in red on our map page — put 42 Lawrence Rd, Hamilton, ON L8M 3G7 into your maps app and it will take you straight there. The larger baseball field lot holds the most cars. Spaces still fill quickly, so arrive early, carpool, use transit, bike or walk when you can, and always follow posted neighbourhood signs.

You can donate online through our partner e3 Canada. Tax receipts are provided as this is collected through a registered non-profit organization. All funds are used strictly for Jesus Festival.

Yes! We highly recommend bringing a lawn chair or blanket for comfortable seating on the grass. There are also some built-in park seating areas available, but personal seating ensures you have a great spot.

Absolutely! Jesus Festival is designed for the whole family. There will be a kids zone, great music, food trucks, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Bring the whole crew!

Yes — on Saturday only. The 2026 vendor family includes ministries, brands, Christian businesses, and food partners across Gage Park. Friday night is pure worship with no vendor row.

Jesus Festival is outdoors at Gage Park and it runs rain or shine. Dress for the weather, bring a layer, and come anyway.

Absolutely. It is an open park, not a ticketed service. Show up late, leave early, stay all day — however you like.
