Sober Fest MI
Sober Fest is where recovery comes to life—with music, laughter, and a community that celebrates every step forward.
Sobriety isn't meant to be walked alone—and you don't have to be in recovery to join the fun.
Sober Fest is family-friendly, community-welcoming, and open to everyone who supports the message of hope and healing. From yard games to live music, there’s something for all ages to enjoy.
This is a substance-free event—no alcohol/drugs are served or allowed on the property. We simply ask that you respect the space and the journey of those around you. Party Sober! - we think you might like it!
Vendor Opportunities
Are you a local business, artisan, or service provider who supports recovery and community connection?
We’re looking for a group of vendors who want to share what they do with an uplifting, purpose-driven crowd. Whether you offer wellness services, creative goods, or helpful resources—we’d love to have you join us.
Space is limited, so reach out soon to reserve your spot. Let’s build something meaningful together!


Inspiring Voices
Throughout the day on Saturday, you’ll hear powerful messages from people in recovery, community leaders, and service providers.
These real stories and insights will move, challenge, and inspire you—showing that recovery is not only possible, it’s worth celebrating.
You’ll also hear from Robert and Heidi Woldhuis, co-founders of Outreach 419, as they share about the work being done through their recovery center and answer questions from community members about the services they provide.

Why Sober Fest MI Matters
Not everyone will walk into a recovery meeting—but they will come to a festival.
Sober Fest creates a space where people can experience connection without pressure. It’s often the first step for someone who doesn’t know where to start.
Hosted by Sober Events and Outreach 419, this event supports year-round recovery services that serve over 250 people each week through meals, meetings, transportation, and community support.
👉 This is where community shows up—and lives start to change.
