OneFest is coming to the Chippewa Valley Music Festival Grounds in Cadott from July 31 to Aug. 2. Crowder, Ben Fuller, Rachel Lampa and Jamie MacDonald are also among more than 20 bands and solo artists taking the stage.
Now in its eighth year, the festival continues to break attendance records. This year’s crowd is expected to exceed 6,000 people.
“Since day one of working to bring this festival to the valley, we have aimed to have a celebration of faith and family …. 2026 will not disappoint as our biggest celebration yet!” said founder Heather Flashinski.
Friday’s lineup includes Crowder, Ben Fuller, Josh Baldwin, Jamie MacDonald and Natural State.
Saturday’s performers will be For King + Country, Matt Maher, Patrick Mayberry, Rachael Lampa and Aaron Cole.
