On Saturday, September 19, 2026, step into a day filled with unity, support, and celebration at the 9th Annual Walk for Hope & Recovery Festival. Organized by the dedicated Addiction Recovery Team, this community-driven event takes place in Weymouth and is supported by Old South Union Church and the local Health Department. The heart of the festival lies in its inclusive spirit, welcoming everyone regardless of whether you choose to walk or simply enjoy the festivities with family and friends. The 1.4-mile community walk offers a gentle route that begins and ends at Old South Union Church, but participation is entirely optional; the day's focus is on creating connections and fostering understanding. Following the walk, the festival transforms into an uplifting gathering of hope and healing. Live music sets the tone for celebration as inspiring speakers share their journeys toward recovery. The event also features booths with valuable resources from local organizations dedicated to addiction support and community wellness. Refreshments are available throughout the day, along with family-friendly activities designed to bring people together in a relaxed atmosphere. This year's festival aims to break down barriers by addressing the stigma surrounding addiction through open conversations and positive interactions among attendees. By joining hands, neighbors and friends can collectively celebrate progress and recovery, making strides toward a more compassionate community. For those planning ahead, T-shirt pick-up begins at 12:30 PM before the walk starts, ensuring everyone has their event gear to commemorate this special day. Join us in Weymouth on September 19th for an afternoon of unity and hope.
