The Day of Resilience, inspired by the strength shown after the 2012 theater tragedy, is a celebration of healing, hope, and our shared humanity. This year, we are intentionally centering the day around wellness, meaningful connection, and healing through arts experiences.
This year's event takes place on Saturday, July 25, 2026. More details will be posted as they become available (i.e. links for 5k sign-up and for purchasing beer-tasting wristbands).
The morning begins with stretching and mindfulness yoga at 7:30 AM. At 8:00 AM, the full Day of Resilience experience begins with DJ Sinna-G kicking off the 6th Annual “The Hero’s Journey” 5K Run/Walk led by survivor Zack Golditch.
From 8:00 AM to NOON, guests of our 11th Annual Festival can enjoy: live chalk artists, view the memorial sculpture, participate in yoga / healing art activities / wellness experiences, take a garden tour - all while enjoying live music, food, our signature beer fest, a dedicated sober space, and our traditional lemonade stand honoring one of our youngest angels.
This event is made possible through the generosity of sponsors and donors who believe in creating spaces for healing and connection. If you would like to donate or sponsor the Day of Resilience, we would be deeply grateful for your support in helping us bring this meaningful morning to life.
If you are interested in sponsoring this event or have questions, please email us at: [email protected]
For participating as a chalk artist (we provide a stipend), please complete the artist call form by June 27th, late entries will be taken as space allows. Apply online at: https://forms.gle/fXzFCVqX2EYTKBKH8
