Shine Fest 2026

One night.
A whole lot of joy.

Shine Fest is our annual night to open the doors, bring the community together and have some serious fun. Bring the kids. Bring your friends. Bring somebody brave enough to ride the bull. We'll take it from there.

What's Happening

There's a lot going on. That's kind of the point.

Rides, games, food, candy and enough activity to make “we'll only stay for an hour” wildly optimistic.

01 • Carnival Rides

Hold on.

The kind of rides that make the kids yell “again” before the first ride has technically stopped.

02 • Mechanical Bull

Eight seconds of glory.

Or three seconds and one really good story.

03 • Dunk Cage

Somebody's going in.

We're simply providing the opportunity.

04 • Carnival Train

All aboard.

Yes, there's a train. Because apparently we don't believe in doing October 31 halfway.

05 • Pony Rides

Yes. Ponies too.

At this point you may want to stop telling the kids what's next and just let them discover it.

Carnival games and volunteers at Shine Fest

06 • Games + Prizes

Play. Win. Repeat.

Carnival games, ticket prizes, candy and enough friendly competition to make things unnecessarily personal.

Rides. Food. Games. Candy. Community. Repeat.

More Than Rides

It's the little moments that make the night.

Face painting. Costumes. Kids running from one thing to the next. Parents actually getting a photo before everyone disappears again. That's Shine Fest.

Come As You Are

Bring your people. We'll bring the fun.

Shine Fest is built for families, friends and neighbors. No complicated plans. No perfect costume required. Just show up, enjoy the night and make a few memories while you're here.

Sometimes community starts with something as simple as opening the doors.

Why Shine?

Because light changes things.

At Restoration Life, we believe Jesus calls us to be a light in our community. Shine Fest is one simple way we live that out — opening our doors, loving our neighbors and creating a night where families can laugh, connect and experience genuine joy together.

Come as you are.
Bring your people.
There's a place for you here.
