Springs Recover Out Loud! A Recovery Spree in the Park is a free public event commemorating National Recovery Month observed in September. This event, presented by Springs Recovery Connection, is being held in the last week of August at America The Beautiful Park to kick it all off. This third annual festival will celebrate our successes as a recovery community and reduce the stigma that so often surrounds the disease of addiction.

The ultimate goal of this event is to celebrate those in recovery and raise awareness of the many ways one may recover from substance use disorder by creating a family fun-filled day of live music, amazing food, wacky games and challenges, kid’s fun zone, recovery resources, motivational guest speakers, and a releasing of the doves; a Recovery Remembrance to honor those we’ve lost.

Our premier guest speaker, Vance Johnson, former wide receiver of the Denver Broncos and the “Three Amigos” has an incredible recovery story of hope to share with all who attend.

Representatives from healthcare organizations, treatment centers, mutual aid groups, and others throughout Colorado will be there to provide information and resources to those seeking recovery in our beautiful Colorado Springs community.
