Praise the Lord! for the moisture. However, due to the weather, the 2024 Easter Sonrise Pageant at the Alton Bluffs has been canceled. Hope to see you in 2025.

Each year, the community of Alton comes together and has a Sonrise Service at the bluffs. The bluffs are located just south of Alton across the bridge. Follow the lighted cross. It may start at 6 am, it may start at 6:30 am, it all depends on when the sun sets. This Sonrise Service is an Easter pageant that tells the stories of Jesus' birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. Dress warm, and bring your lawn chair and blankets with you. There will be a community breakfast to follow at the Alton United Methodist Church.
