Recovery Is Something to Celebrate

Recovery represents courage, perseverance, and possibility.

Recovery Fest is an opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of people in recovery, support families, reduce stigma, and remind anyone who may be struggling that hope is possible and they are not alone.

“Recovery is something to be celebrated. Recovery Fest is an opportunity for our community to come together, honor the accomplishments of those in recovery, support families, and provide hope to anyone who may be struggling. We want everyone to know that they are not alone.”

— Frank Gould, Chair, Stoneham Coalition
