LifeLight Sioux Falls Festival strives to provide the best possible environment and opportunities for ministry for all participants.

Our Mission: “Taking the Church outside the walls,
bringing LIGHT into the darkness
with the life-changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ”
(John 8:12).

Requirements

LifeLight will provide power to the Exhibitor area.  Exhibitor needs to provide their own extension cords. LifeLight cannot guarantee how close Exhibitor will be to power supply, so come prepared.  If Exhibitor plans on using lighting, LifeLight suggests using battery operated lighting, so the power supply isn't overloaded.
