With a lineup of Juno Award-winning musicians, SoberFest was host to thousands of attendees who gathered at Langford's Starlight Stadium for one of the most impactful, recovery-focused festivals in the country.
The alcohol and drug-free festival returned for its fourth year on Saturday, Aug. 2, featuring sets from award-winning artists Serena Ryder, The Strumbellas and Snak the Ripper.
Beyond the star-studded music lineup, SoberFest is designed as a family-friendly, all-ages event, featuring a massive kid zone with bouncy castles, superheroes, obstacle courses, and even free T-shirt design stations. Attendees can also explore vendor booths featuring a range of artisan crafts and local food, and connect with recovery service providers from across the region.
Ticket sales are used to fund addiction treatment beds through the ReWired Recovery Foundation. According to the Festival's founder, Mike Manhas, SoberFest has helped send 75 people to treatment, with more than 50 still maintaining their sobriety.
