Three Summer Music Events Happening at the Ark Encounter

The hills are alive with the sound of music—the hills of Williamstown, Kentucky, anyway! In addition to daily concerts with our phenomenal resident artists of TrueSong, we have three enjoyable music events happening this summer at the Ark Encounter: Gospel Music Weekends, Faith Country Music Festival, and 40 Days and 40 Nights of Gospel Music. And all these events are free with your general admission.

Gospel Music Weekends at the Ark Encounter

The Singing News and the Ark Encounter are partnering to bring quality gospel and faith country music to the Ark all summer long! Every Friday and Saturday from now through July 30, 2022, you can see incredible concerts on Noah's Village Stage at noon and 1 p.m. Don't miss the 20+ artists performing on Noah's Village Stage during the Gospel Music Weekends.

Faith Country Music Festival

Faith Country Music Festival, which runs June 16–18, 2022, features at least five different artists performing each day (that’s 15 total!) on our outdoor stage and a headline event in the Answers Center each evening. Enjoy music from Carolina, The Jordan Family Band, Mitchell Whisnant, Kevin Kappler, Michael Lee, Gary Gibson, Deramus Family, Williamson Branch, Cody Hamm, Dale Rochell, Joe Richard, Ryan Watkins, David Timms, Troy Ervin, and Doug Mathis.

Mitchell Whisnant is one of the feature artists during our Faith Country Music Festival.

40 Days and 40 Nights of Gospel Music

August 2–September 10, 2022, our second 40 Days and 40 Nights of Gospel Music (the biggest Christian music festival in the world) event takes place daily at the Ark Encounter and on select dates at the nearby Creation Museum as well, with over 120 total concerts. Guests will enjoy multiple concerts every day, featuring artists such as The Isaacs, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Karen Peck & New River, Brian Free & Assurance, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, Jimmy Fortune, and many more favorites. It’s going to be an incredible time of worship.
