Rise & Shine is more than a concert. It’s a community movement rooted in hope, worship, and unity. Christ Church is once again sponsoring the event, and we invite you to come for FREE music, worship, and community. New in 2026, the event will be more festival-style, so if you want to sit, please bring your own chair or simply wander and enjoy a casual evening throughout the venue. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from Foxtown Brewery.
There are opportunities to serve during the event, as well! Christ Church is blessed to be able to support this incredible community event in a variety of ways again this year. Please mention you’re with Christ Church when you sign up to volunteer.

2026 Lineup
We’re beyond excited to welcome Jamie MacDonald as the headliner for Rise and Shine 2026. Join us on Monday, July 27, at the FoxYard @foxtownstation in Mequon for an unforgettable night of worship, community, and soul-stirring music – totally FREE thanks to our amazing sponsors.
The opening act for Rise and Shine 2026 is the Praise and Spirits Band. This powerful worship team from various area churches will kick off the evening with heartfelt praise and powerful worship that you won’t want to miss. (Fun fact: one of the band members was an architect on the Christ Church building expansion!)
About Rise and Shine
As of 2025, Rise and Shine is proud to operate as its own nonprofit organization, Rise and Shine Music Series, Inc. Our mission is to bring friends and families together through a shared joy of music for an uplifting and inspiring community experience.
Rise and Shine 2025 was an incredible success, with nearly 1,500 people gathering at our beautiful new venue, The FoxYard at Foxtown Station, nestled in the heart of Mequon and Thiensville’s City Center. With performances by Danny Gokey and Life Church Music, it was more than just a concert. It was a vibrant celebration of faith, fellowship, and the transformative power of music.
This event is made possible thanks to the generosity of our amazing sponsors and volunteers, and we need your support to continue our mission. Every gift, large or small, makes a difference and is deeply appreciated!
