September 13 & 14, 2024
In 2024, Uprise Festival returns with another year of family fun and the best in Christian music! Music fans will want to be at the Shippensburg Fairgrounds this September 13 & 14, when more than 35 bands and artists will gather on three different stages for two incredible nights of rock and pop performances by artists and bands, including Skillet, Switchfoot, Disciple, Tedashi, Steve Malcolm, Amongst the Giants, and Impending Doom.
Festival Experience
This is also much more than a music festival. Other activities include camping; a variety of food vendors with festival favorites such as funnel cakes, pretzel braids, ice cream, jerk chicken, and more; a kids' zone on Saturday (for toddlers through age 11) with games, a bouncy house, face painting, and other fun activities; a petting zoo with adorable free-roaming animals, both large and small; and vendors with a large selection of apparel and merchandise.
