Sober Fest

Music has always been at the heart of New Orleans, but for people in recovery, music-oriented events can often be places where they feel challenged or excluded. We believe that building community and having fun is an important part of recovery, and Bridge House / Grace House is proud to host an alcohol-free music festival where everyone can come together to enjoy amazing artists and have a really great time in a sober-supportive environment.

Sober Fest returns on November 23, 2024. Sober Fest will offer a variety of food favorites from vendors and local food trucks. An awesome lineup of performers is yet to be released. The festival is family-friendly and will include a kids area. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available with proceeds going directly to Bridge House/Grace House’s mission to provide treatment to men and women struggling with addiction.

Tickets are $10 in advance or $20 at the gate. Tickets can be purchased here. Children under 12 are free with a paid adult.

Sober Fest was created to promote the idea that recovery is not only attainable but also enjoyable. Bridge House / Grace House was established with the belief that sustaining sobriety requires fulfilling basic needs, and this includes a safe space for entertainment.
