It’s set up week at Heaven Fest! Check out a view of the grounds from the top of the Budweiser Event Center… With all the stages being built and vendors moving in, it looks like a small city has been established in the past few days!

WHAT?? I can’t bring my stuff to Heaven Fest? (video blog)
Nobody likes to be told “no” but there are certain things we just can’t let through the gates at Heaven Fest for your safety and enjoyment, as much as anyone else’s!
We’ll try to explain WHY right here!
No beer, alcohol or illegal substances of any kind – no how, no way! You won’t need them! Anyone found under the influence will be escorted off the premises by law enforcement.
No bicycles, scooters, ATVs, motorized vehicles of ANY kind. Why? Because the fest grounds are walkable and we want to keep 40,000 people, including you, safe!
SIDE NOTE: We DO have a designated Skateboard Park. If you are under 18, you’ll need a signed waiver from your parent or guardian. Get that here.
No fireworks, balloons, permanent markers or spray paint please. You know why!
No pets or animals on the festival grounds and for the love of pete – do NOT leave them in your car! Heaven Fest is a human-only festival. But when we all get to heaven…
Grandma’s 7-foot long couch, the dining room chairs and your backyard gazebo are a big, fat NO, too! If you want to bring seating, may we suggest a nice picnic blanket or a low-slung (no more than 12″ off the ground) beach-style chair. Ya know – so people can see over and around you!
Don’t bring glass containers or cans and no large, hard-sided coolers, please. Why? Because Ovations at The Ranch has secured a large number of amazing food vendors especially for HF-attendees with a huge variety of delicious food for your enjoyment! YOU CAN bring a 12″ x 12″ x 12″ soft-sided cooler with some snacks and a refillable plastic water container or Thermos for drinking.
Leave your weapons, knives, guns, pocket knives and pepper spray at home. Don’t bring hurtful stuff. We have security to keep you safe.
Leave your worries somewhere, too. Come and experience Heaven Fest and we hope you’ll run smack-dab into the Presence of the Lord and find out a little more about the Father’s Heart while you’re here! Plus – ya know, the music…
See ya soon!

With Heaven Fest right around the corner, the staff is so excited to see YOU there!
In the making of this video, we busted into a board meeting to politely ask the executive directors of Heaven Fest if they wouldn’t mind “getting excited” for Heaven Fest on camera. This transpired into an epic dance off. You never know what to expect at the Heaven Fest office!
Watch for the new video!
