Celebrating recovery, hope and healing
The Warren County Prevention and Intervention Coalition invites the entire community to attend Warren County Recovery Fest 2026 on Saturday, Oct. 10, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Freedom Life Church.
Recovery Fest is a community celebration focused on bringing people together, breaking the stigma surrounding substance use disorders, and reminding individuals and families that recovery is possible.
Centered around the theme “Unity, Healing, Growth,” the event welcomes individuals in recovery, their families, community members, treatment professionals, and anyone who wants to support a healthier, stronger Warren County.
“Recovery Fest is about so much more than celebrating recovery. It’s about showing people who may still be struggling that they are not alone and that there is an entire community ready to support them,” said Brandon Bouldin, Founder and President of the Warren County Prevention and Intervention Coalition. “We want people to come out, connect with one another, and see firsthand what can happen when a community comes together with a common purpose.”
The event will bring together local organizations, behavioral health providers, recovery advocates, and community partners committed to prevention, treatment, and long-term recovery. Attendees will have opportunities to connect with organizations providing valuable resources and support throughout the region.
This year’s event will also include a special tribute to Alan Vickers, founder of Chase Away Fentanyl, recognizing his dedication to overdose prevention and his mission to save lives following the loss of his son, Chase, to fentanyl.
“Alan’s passion for helping others made a lasting impact on so many people,” Bouldin added. “We are honored to recognize his legacy and the work of Chase Away Fentanyl. His mission continues to remind us why prevention, education, and community involvement are so important.”
Recovery Fest 2026 is made possible through the generosity of numerous community sponsors and partners, including presenting sponsors Shrinkty Behavioral Health and RecoverWell. The Coalition extends its appreciation to every participating organization for helping make this event possible.
The Warren County Prevention and Intervention Coalition encourages everyone to attend, regardless of whether addiction or recovery has personally touched their lives.
