This summer, Eagle River becomes a hub of music and inspiration as Praise in the Pines announces its most exciting lineup yet. Headlined by the internationally acclaimed Newsboys, the festival brings world-class Christian music to the heart of the Northwoods.
For small towns like Eagle River, residents seeing a band of Newsboys’ caliber often means driving hours to larger cities. This summer, however, the music is coming to you. “This is truly a special opportunity for Eagle River,” said Bill Lochte, President of the Praise in the Pines board. “Bringing an artist of Newsboys’ caliber to our town is a testament to the heart and spirit of this community. We’re excited to create an unforgettable experience for locals and visitors alike.”
The excitement is already building for residents like Nolan Hansen. Last year, Nolan attended the festival with his mom, Jennifer, and was thrilled to participate in a meet-and-greet with the band. “It was such a cool experience,” Nolan shared. “I couldn’t believe I got to meet them right here in my town.”. Nolan was excited to be able to worship with his best friend since second grade, Sarah. This year, he’s eagerly anticipating Newsboys’ performance and has already purchased his tickets.
Praise in the Pines is making it easy to share the joy of music and faith this holiday season. Until January 1, 2025, the special “Trailblazer” promotion offers 20% off main floor and bleacher seats. “Imagine the smiles on your loved ones’ faces when they unwrap tickets to see Newsboys live in Eagle River. This makes a great Christmas present,” Lochte noted, urging everyone to take advantage of this limited-time offer. Whether you’re a longtime follower of the band or a first-time visitor to Eagle River, the festival is an opportunity to experience something extraordinary—without the long drive.
