People in recovery may want to attend because:
It’s a chance to be surrounded by support
It’s a place to celebrate progress and honor loved ones
It’s an opportunity to meet others walking similar paths
It’s a stigma‑free, welcoming environment
It’s simply a fun, uplifting day filled with connection, resources, and community spirit
The Recovery Train adds a playful, family‑friendly way to enjoy the day and ride through town
Our Celebration will always be held in remembrance of Dr. Peter Leighton. His compassion, dedication, and commitment to helping others shaped the foundation of this event. He would be so proud of how far this community has come — how people have pulled together, supported one another, and continued the work he was so passionate about. Helping others was at the core of who he was, and honoring that spirit remains central to our mission.

This year, we are excited to have a new location, and hopefully a forever place to hold our celebration. The green space at the Bridgton Community Center is familiar, fun, and truly beautiful. It offers the perfect outdoor setting for an uplifting, meaningful, and community‑centered celebration. And with Pondicherry Park right beside us, anyone who wishes to take a quiet, reflective stroll can still do so.
