After months of prayerful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to put future Joyful Noise festivals on hold.

Changes that we have all faced have impacted how Joyful Noise is put together. Increased requirements for security, increased labor costs, and other factors have led us to evaluate how we do things. We have reached the point where operating Joyful Noise runs the risk of substantial financial loss.

Ultimately, that loss could impact our core mission of leading people to Christ, and nurturing your spiritual growth through 98.5 KTIS.

We know this news is tough for the many families who made Joyful Noise an annual tradition.

This doesn’t mean we don’t want to get together again soon! 98.5 KTIS will continue to create signature events in the Twin Cities that allow us to come together and worship with each other and great KTIS artists.

Whether you attended once, or have made Joyful Noise an annual tradition, thank you for being a part of the Joyful Noise family.

Thank you. I am looking forward to worshiping with you in the year ahead!
