UPDATE:
After considering the growing rates of the COVID-19 Delta variant, the increased measures announced recently by New York state and city local officials to stop the spread, and a widespread anxiousness about attending public events, we have made the decision to postpone RecoveryFest 2021. Of course, this was no easy choice to make, as the outpouring of excitement and interest has been overwhelmingly touching. Although it is disappointing not to move forward as planned, the safety and health of our community will always come first.
Looking ahead, we aim to hold our RecoveryFest in Spring 2022. We’re going to take this extra time to add more activities, vendors, and entertainment to our lineup to make sure we deliver an even more amazing event for you! We apologize for any inconvenience this postponement may have caused, but we can assure you that our 2022 event will be better than you can imagine. We can’t wait to see you in the spring!
