The third annual SoberFest, organized by the ReWired Recovery Foundation, is happening at the Starlight Stadium on Saturday, August 3.

The entirely volunteer-driven festival’s proceeds are directed towards supporting individuals in accessing treatment programs on Vancouver Island. SoberFest’s organizer Mike Manhas told Daily Hive he has been able to send 42 people to recovery programs.
SoberFest, in part, provides a safe space for recovery and healing. This year will be the first time there will be a family area with a kids’ play zone, face painting and more. Children 12 and under are free to attend.
To stay refreshed throughout the day, check out the SoberFest Lounge with a variety of non-alcoholic options or stop by the misting stations at Starlight Stadium.
