August 9th Night of Rememberance

A Night of Remembrance: Honoring the Journey of Recovery – August 9, 2025
On Saturday, August 9, 2025, the heart of Lexington, NC will come alive with hope, healing, and remembrance as the community gathers at Breeden Amphitheater for the annual Race Against Drugs: A Day of Recovery. This powerful family event, running from 9 AM to 2 PM, offers more than just fun and entertainment—it’s a heartfelt reminder of the lives we’ve lost, the battles being fought, and the strength found in recovery.
Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Future


This year, we invite you to join us in a Night of Remembrance—a solemn yet uplifting tribute held in spirit alongside the day’s events. As we enjoy live entertainment, food trucks, vendors, and kid-friendly fun, we also reflect on the journey that brings us here. Behind every recovery story is a past filled with struggle, and behind every struggle, a community rising in support.
Whether you’ve lost a loved one to addiction, are fighting your own battle, or simply want to stand in solidarity, this night is for you. Let the music, laughter, and connection throughout the day carry into the evening as we light the path toward healing.
Event Highlights
- Live Entertainment that moves the soul
- Food Trucks & Vendors to satisfy every craving
- Kid Zone with an Inflatable Bouncy House & Obstacle Course
- Door Prizes and community engagement for all ages
