Feast of Tabernacles 2026

The Continuing Church of God observes God's Holy Days (click here for you can click here for the calendar of Holy Days), sometimes called festival or feast days, throughout the world.

The Feast of Tabernacles begins at sunset on September 25th and runs (including the Last Great Day) until sunset October 3rd.

Some website links to outside sources are in this post, but this does not mean that they are endorsed by the Continuing Church of God. They are provided as additional sources of information–and hopefully some of that information may be helpful to you and your family as you begin to make plans for the 2026 Feast of Tabernacles.

Remember that Jesus said to seek first the kingdom of God in Matthew 6:33. To seek first the kingdom of god means that worldly things are not to come first. yet many do not heed Jesus’ words—but all should!

Furthermore, from a Christian perspective, we also realize that this pilgrimage period we call the FEAST pictures a foretaste of the millennial kingdom of god. we should all seek to observe it during this age.

Please make every effort to obey God and attend in person this year. And if that is REALLY NOT POSSIBLE (but for almost everyone it should be), then at least watch services online each day.

North America

In North America, we are looking to observe the Feast of Tabernacles in two locations in 2026.

Canada

For Canada, the likely location this looks to be in Ontario, near the city of London.

Rooster Hill Ranch

Note that this is a working farm, so there will likely be noises from cattle, goats and chickens/roosters. There is one working dog in the house that is restricted to the mud room and 3 cats (2 more outside) that are friendly. Daily farming activities (checking/feeding critters) start around sunrise but I can start with chores away from the buildings first.

Lots of room for tents if anybody wants to “camp out”.

Room for a camper/RV if someone wants to use/bring one of those.

Nearby hotels:

Best Western Plus Stoneridge Inn & Conference Centre (13 minutes)

Cardinal Court Motel (15 minutes)

Ramada (20 minutes)

Courtyard (22 minutes)

Four Points (21 minutes)

London Travel Inn (22 minutes)

And lots more…

Nearby Restaurants:

20-30 minutes from all manner of dining in London

Local Attractions:

Grand Theatre (London, 35 minutes)

Stratford (3 theatres – world class + lots of restaurants, 1 hr)

Niagara Falls (2 hr, lots of hotels there if one wanted to stay overnight and return to the farm for services)

Butterfly Conservatory (Niagara Falls, 2 hr)

Grand Bend (fantastic sunsets over Lake Huron) (1 hr)

Point Pelee National Park (most southern point in Canada) (1.5 hr)

Toronto Zoo (2.5 hrs)

CN Tower (Toronto, 2 hrs)

Royal Ontario Museum (Toronto, 2 hrs)

Royal Botanical Gardens (Burlington, 1.5 hrs)

Lots of “lesser” tourist attractions (like Parks Blueberries, various smaller theatres, etc.)

Farm-bound Activities:

Feeding critters, collecting eggs, flying kites in the hay field, nature walks in the bush or hay field, fishing in the pond, sunset watching (can be quite spectacular), fire pit/marshmallow roast (will need to get twigs from the bush earlier in the day), deer watching (evenings), feeding from the garden, bicycle riding (2 or 3 bikes, plus a couple of small child bikes), learning how to grow vegetables naturally, learning about basic chicken husbandry, making butter/yogurt, visiting a small local dairy to see where the milk at the store comes from (and maybe see how cheese is made?). BBQ on one day?

United States

For the USA, we are looking at Fayetteville (Arkansas), Lexington (Kentucy), and Santa Fe (New Mexico). We only expect to pick one and could pick something else.

For more information on the site in the Congo, contact Moise Nshimiyimana, Phone number+250788415438 P.o box 2493 Kigali.

Europe

We have scattered members across Europe and the British Isles. We anticipate that CCOG members there will watch services online in 2026.

Ethiopia

We plan to have two sites in Ethiopia. Those there came to us from a Church of God, Seventh-day background and are relatively new to keeping the Feast of Tabernacles. The same goes from those in South Sudan who also are likely to attend. Deacon Koang Deng sent the following information related to 2025:

The Ethiopians and South Sudanese are quite poor and there can be health risks here (as well as anywhere in Africa we have sites). If you want to go, please contact Evans Ochieng, email evochieng74@gmail.com or Koang Deng koangdeng5@gmail.com; Koang Deng lives in Ethiopia.

Ghana

We have hundreds with us in Ghana. They came to us from a Church of God, Seventh-day background and are relatively new to keeping the Feast of Tabernacles.

The expected location is Asante kotoko. Here is the email address of our leading Pastor Samuel Ofosu Gyeabour fosusamuel81@gmail.com

Haiti

India

A site in far eastern India is planned for. It is planned to be at a retreat in Manipur.

Kenya

However, we also plan to have Takitech groups, Taach Arwet, Segemian Nkaroni (Rono's Local) and North Rift (Pastor Cheruiyot). So, 15 sites.

For more information on the sites in Kenya, contact Evans Ochieng, email evochieng74@gmail.com

Malawi

We plan to have multiple sites in Malawi. According to Pastor Evans Ochieng, "it is cheap."

Mozambique

New Zealand

A Feast of Tabernacles site may be planned for New Zealand--or those in New Zealand may go to Australia. For additional information, contact Ritchie White, email aerotriker@gmail.com

Panama

We expect to have a site in Panama. This will likely be about 2-3 hours away from the international airport there. More details are expected to be posted once they become more available.

For further information please contact George 'Doc' Buchanan. His email address is: Doc1111@protonmail.com

Philippines

Puerto Rico

Rwanda

Internet and Other Areas

We do have some type of services available via the internet for those who cannot get to the festival sites. Sermons, offertories, and some other items are expected to be at the Sermons link at the www.ccog.org website and probably more will be in this article.

Please obey God and keep the Feast of Tabernacles as He would want you to (see also How to Keep God's Festivals).

May you have a great Feast of Tabernacles and learn what God would have you learn from this Feast.

Whether or not you attended in 2025, you should plan and resolve to attend in 2026 if at all possible. The Apostle Paul wrote:

Will YOU try to insure that BY ALL MEANS you will keep the coming Feast of Tabernacles next year as we see the day approaching?

The Feast of Tabernacles begins at sunset on September 25th and runs through (including the Last Great Day) sunset October 3rd in 2026.
