Recovery Rally 2026

Mark your calendars. The Kentucky Recovery Rally is returning to the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort on September 3, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The speaking program will begin at 10:00 AM.

Why do we gather in Frankfort? To remind Kentucky that recovery is possible. Every September, we come together at the State Capitol to celebrate the power of recovery, honor the journeys of Kentuckians impacted by addiction, and connect with the resources, communities, and leaders driving change across the Commonwealth.

This event is open to everyone. Individuals in recovery, family members and loved ones, providers and advocates, and anyone who wants to show support are all part of this community. You don't need a personal connection to addiction to belong here, you just need to care about your community.

This year's rally will feature guest speakers, nearly 100 resource booths, food trucks, and free naloxone.

Where: Kentucky State Capitol, 700 Capital Ave, Frankfort, KY

When: September 3, 2026, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Speaking program begins at 10:00 AM)

ASL Interpreters will be available at the 2026 Kentucky Recovery Rally

This Overdose Awareness Day, our CHFS team keeps in our hearts those we've lost to overdose and their families, and we stand with Kentucky families who are struggling with addiction. As Gov. Beshear says, "One life lost to overdose is one too many." We're grateful to our many partners across Kentucky who work each day to prevent overdose deaths.
