Wildfires Youth 2026

The FESTIVAL within the festival

Since 2018 Wildfires has been passionate about seeing a fresh wave of the Holy Spirit poured out in these lands and across the emerging generations. That’s why in 2026 we are launching Wildfires Youth Festival – the young people of this land are no longer the focus of our prayers, they are the driving force of this movement.
