40 Days of Christian Music Kicks off Next Week!

Matthew West, Crowder, Cain, Jeremy Camp, and more return to the Ark Encounter for 40 Days of Christian Music. The world’s largest Christian music festival kicks off next week!

We’re thrilled to host 40 Days of Christian Music once again this year—July 28–September 5, 2026—and to hear the Lord praised and the gospel proclaimed by the musicians and speakers (last year, over 2,300 came to faith in Christ during the event!). So who can you see live in concert this year?

In addition to the artists listed above, our 2026 lineup includes:

• Passion
• Jamie MacDonald
• Jon Reddick
• David Phelps
• Jason Crabb
• Selah
• Triumphant Quartet
• Karen Peck & New River
• Mark Trammel Quartet
• The Isaacs
• The Inspirations
• Gold City
• And many more!

Concerts at the Ark are all included with Ark Encounter tickets, and the concerts at the Creation Museum are included with museum tickets. It’s a great time to make a trip to see the Ark and the museum, enjoy a live concert by one of your favorite artists, and discover new ones. And be sure to bring unsaved family and friends—there’s always a gospel presentation, and the Lord has used it to save thousands of people over the years we’ve been hosting this event.

A huge thank-you to the sponsors who make this event possible: Coca-Cola Consolidated, AdelFi Christian Banking, Savior: There Is Only One, Destiny Rescue, Singing at Sea, and SingingNews.
