WEST PARIS — Ripple Retreat plans to host Bands for Recovery, Playing for Discovery — a family friendly, alcohol-free music festival.
The all-day event is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, June 22, at Ripple Retreat’s natural amphitheater on 186R Main St.
In addition to providing a fun, family-friendly, sober event for the community, proceeds from the festival will go toward the creation of a multipurpose room at Ripple Retreat. The room will provide a much-needed space for those in recovery to hold meetings, educational events, and the practice of holistic healing methods, such as yoga, meditation, and reiki.
Festival-goers can bring a chair or blanket, pick a spot on the grass, and enjoy a day of music, food, games, vendors, and support.
Tickets cost $25 for adults and can be purchased at ripple-retreat.com. Children who are with a parent can attend for free.
