Birthed in 1982 at Willmar Community College with 1800 people in attendance, the Sonshine festival has grown to see attendances well over 20,000 people yearly. Festival director Bob Poe describes the heart of the festival quite accurately in saying, “Although the music and faces have changed over time, the mission of Sonshine has remained consistent. That mission is to call people to be life-long followers of Jesus, whether they are just embarking on their journey, or have been faithfully following for years.”
On top of conveniently located camping areas (within 4 minutes of walking distance to the stages), the festival features a killer music tournament where the grand prize winner gets a chance to play mainstage!
Among the artists playing the festival’s four stages this year include: Switchfoot, Newsboys, Red, Thousand Foot Krutch, Kari Jobe, Scott Stapp (of Creed), Britt Nicole, Family Force 5, Tedashii, and many, many more. Perhaps one of the highlights of this festival is the Indoor Stage, showcasing the very best in Christian heavy music. Some acts billed at this year’s festival include: War of Ages, Sleeping Giant, Children 18:3, Your Memorial, Wolves at the Gate, August Burns Red, and several others. Don’t go to sleep too early, because the Indoor Stage turns into one EPIC dance party after midnight!
