The Hope Tent is the largest Christian presence at a secular event in our community.  It is home to the best Christian entertainment in our area, including contemporary Christian rock bands, praise & worship teams, Christian rap, drama teams, silent worship teams, evangelists, etc.  Featured Christian entertainers (hyperlink to entertainer page) for 2010 include Matthew West and Jars of Clay.  It also contains seating for hundreds, which is at a minimum throughout the Spiedie Fest, distribution of FREE Coffee and Cookies, a baby changing & nursing mothers’ station and the best restrooms at the Spiedie Fest.  A new addition to this year’s Hope Tent is a Children’s Tent, with its own stage for Christian children’s entertainment, free games and activities, face painting, balloon animals, and more.

The Hope Tent strives to demonstrate the love Jesus Christ through hospitality and service, providing a reason for the hope that we have (1 Peter 3:15).  The Hope Tent is for both the believer and non-believer.  It provides believers with an opportunity to invite their unsaved family and friends and those on their Andrew’s Lists to attend the Spiedie Fest with them and experience the love & hope of Jesus Christ in a non-threatening, entertaining environment.
