3630 Bald Knob Road, Alto Pass, IL 62905

Visit Bald Knob Cross for the Annual Easter Sunrise Service, which starts at 6:15AM.

The Bald Knob Cross of Peace in Alto Pass will host the Annual Easter Sunrise Service. This annual service remains one of the longest standing traditions in the region. The gates will open at 5:00am. Handicap parking and on-site golf cart shuttles will be available.

In 1937, two men led an effort to unify Southern Illinoisans through an Easter Sunrise Service. Today, we continue to fulfill their vision with this service featuring long standing traditions as well as a contemporary worship experience. This 87th annual event will be held in-person and streamed online. commented Jena Guined, Executive Director of Bald Knob Cross of Peace.

Two food trucks will be on site during the event.
