MANCHESTER, NH – Hope for NH Recovery, a peer-to-peer non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals in recovery, is excited to announce its highly anticipated annual Recovery Festival. This year, the event promises to be a powerful celebration of life, community, and the shared journey toward healing. The festival will be a free and family-friendly event, open to all.
“The heart of this event is always our community,” said Randy Stevens, Executive Director of Hope for NH Recovery. “It’s a chance for neighbors to come together and honor the stories that shape our state’s recovery culture. We’ve shouldered the weight of addiction side-by-side—sharing joy, pain, laughter, and sorrow. This is recovery in action: doing life together. Every story adds to the foundation of strength that makes recovery possible and brings hope within reach for the next person.”
This year’s festival will feature a wide array of attractions, including a live painter, a tarot card reader, and even adoptable puppies from Darbster Doggie. Attendees can also enjoy a performance by a bubble fairy, a baton twirler, and a friendly cornhole tournament.
The festival is an invitation to everyone in the city to find common ground in the struggles we all face. While our struggles may look different and have unique consequences, we can come together to find strength in our shared humanity.
“We invite the entire city to come be loud and have fun with us as we celebrate recovery,” Stevens said. “Come learn about all the important work happening in our city from a ton of community partners who want to share this work with you.”
Hope for NH Recovery would like to extend a special thank you to Live Free Recovery Services for their generous support as the Top Sponsor for this year’s festival. Their commitment is a testament to the power of collaboration in fostering healing and building lives.
Mark your calendars to come down to the park and invest in a community that fosters healing, rebuilt lives, and, most of all, hope.
