Community Events Across The tri-cities
Sometimes the best support is simply being around people who understand the journey.
This calendar highlights social events happening across the Tri-Cities and surrounding East Tennessee communities that offer individuals in recovery an opportunity to stay active, connect with others, and enjoy everyday life in a welcoming and supportive environment.
From outdoor activities and community fairs to volunteer opportunities and local gatherings, there are many ways to build meaningful connections and strengthen recovery.
Find your people. Show up. Stay connected.
