2026 Walk for Hope and Recovery Festival

On Saturday, September 19, 2026, come together for an inspiring day of hope, healing, and community at the 9th Annual Walk for Hope & Recovery Festival. Hosted by Old South Union Church and the Weymouth Health Department in collaboration with the Addiction Recovery Team, this event welcomes everyone to participate or simply enjoy the festivities.
The heart of the festival is a 1.4-mile walk that starts and finishes at Old South Union Church. However, walking isn't mandatory; it's just one way for participants to show their support. The real essence lies in gathering with others who share similar goals and aspirations.
After the walk concludes, the celebration continues with live music performances, motivational speeches from inspiring individuals sharing their journeys of recovery, booths offering valuable resources related to addiction recovery, and family-friendly activities that cater to all ages. Attendees can also enjoy snacks and refreshments while connecting with neighbors and friends in a supportive environment.
This event aims to break down barriers around the stigma associated with addiction by fostering understanding and compassion through community engagement. Whether you're taking part in the walk or simply joining for the day's events, everyone is invited to be a part of this uplifting experience that celebrates hope, healing, and recovery.
