Hamilton Lifted Jesus Up. The Draw Continues.

Jesus Festival Hamilton 2026 gathered at Gage Park on September 4–5, 2026 — a free, family-friendly weekend of worship, community, Gospel hope, and glory to Jesus in the open air.

This was never just an event. It was a city-wide invitation for Hamilton to celebrate the name of Jesus where families, churches, neighbours, and people who would never normally step inside a sanctuary could encounter Him together.

Jesus said in John 12:32, "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." That is still the heartbeat: lift Jesus clearly, then walk with the people He draws.

What the Weekend Looked Like

  • Friday, September 4 — Pure Worship Night at Gage Park, led by Bethel Gospel Tabernacle (evening worship in the park).
  • Saturday, September 5 — Full festival day: live worship, Gospel preaching, prayer, testimony, kids activities, and churches serving side by side.
  • Stage contributors included voices from across the city and the wider movement — I Am Second / e3 Canada, Open Heaven, Ant Lee Jr., and other local worship and testimony teams.
  • Admission stayed free. The park stayed public. Jesus stayed the point.

What Comes After the Park

A festival that ends at the soundboard is unfinished obedience. If you met Jesus, asked for prayer, or wrote a name down: follow up this week. Come to a Love on Hamilton Friday night. Start a group with the Outreach Group Starter Kit. Join the Inner Circle so you hear the next date when it is announced.

Psalm 133 reminds us there is blessing where brothers and sisters dwell in unity. Gage Park heard that blessing. Now Hamilton still belongs to Jesus on ordinary Fridays.

We lifted Him up. He draws. We walk with the people He drew.
