The 40 Days of Christian Music festival returns for its sixth consecutive year at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, running from July 28 through September 5, 2026. Drawing tens of thousands of guests from across the United States and around the world, this extraordinary event offers a powerful blend of worship, teaching, and unforgettable musical experiences.
Attendees will not only explore two of America’s most well-known Christian attractions but also enjoy live performances from some of the biggest names in Christian music.
Attendees will not only explore two of America’s most well-known Christian attractions (the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum located here in Northern Kentucky) but also enjoy live performances from some of the biggest names in Christian music. Concerts are held in the state-of-the-art Answers Center at the Ark and Legacy Hall at the Creation Museum—creating an atmosphere where faith and music come together in a meaningful way.
This year’s lineup is epic and nothing short of remarkable. Artists scheduled to appear include Jeremy Camp, CAIN, Crowder, Passion, Matthew West, Jamie MacDonald, Jon Reddick, Cochren & Co., David Phelps, Tasha Layton, Jason Crabb, Triumphant Quartet, Karen Peck & New River, Mark Trammell Quartet, The Isaacs, The Inspirations, Gold City, and Joseph Habedank, among many others. In total, more than 100 artists will take the stage throughout the 40-day event.



What sets 40 Days of Christian Music apart from other festivals is its intentional focus on the gospel. Each concert includes Bible teaching with a clear presentation of the message of salvation and a call to respond. Lives are being transformed and hearts are being drawn closer to Christ—making the event not just entertaining but eternally impactful. Over the past years, we’ve seen thousands respond to the gospel at these concerts.
Another distinctive feature is accessibility. All concerts are included free with admission to the attractions, making it an incredible value for families, church groups, and individuals alike. And increasing numbers of people are buying the Annual Unlimited Combo for themselves or for their families. This annual pass includes unlimited admission to the Ark and Creation Museum, as well as free parking, for a year—enabling passholders to come to as many concerts as they choose at both attractions.
The event is produced by Abraham Productions under the leadership of CEO Ray Flynn. Known for organizing faith-based concerts, conferences, and large-scale gatherings across the country, Abraham Productions is committed to creating events that inspire and uplift while clearly sharing the gospel message. That’s why Answers in Genesis is thrilled to partner with them—because our emphasis as a ministry has always been the authority of God’s Word and the gospel.
Flynn shares his heart behind the festival:
I am honored to bring the world’s largest Christian music festival to the top Christian attractions in America. My vision has always been to bring together multiple genres of music to make an eternal impact on people of all ages and backgrounds. Each day, I am moved to tears as we witness so many respond to the gospel. Last year alone, nearly 2,500 people placed their faith in Jesus Christ during this event. We are also blessed to have outstanding speakers like Ken Ham who provide solid biblical teaching and encouragement daily.
Now is the perfect time to begin planning your visit. Whether attending with family, friends, or a church group, guests will experience far more than a music festival—they will encounter a time of worship, fellowship, and spiritual renewal.
