When the Tri-State comes together, the good times run deep. Music festivals, fireworks, community parades, and food-filled weekends give you plenty of reasons to pack the car, gather your people, and make some memories.

HEALING

APPALACHIA

MULTI-DAY OUTDOOR MUSIC FESTIVAL IN ASHLAND, KENTUCKY

The Mission of Healing Appalachia is to produce events that help connect and grow communities of recovery and healing in Appalachia, raising funds and awareness to combat opioid addiction through a wide array of projects and programs from youth prevention, healthy lifestyles and wellness to recovery houses and recovery to work.  Like Farm Aid does to raise awareness and funds for America’s small, sustainable family farms, we want to bring together folks to raise funds and awareness to celebrate recovery through our main event Healing Appalachia each September, and work year-round on more projects fostering communities of recovery.
