Overdose Awareness Day 2026

Remembering Lives, Celebrating Recovery

Overdose Awareness Day is a moment for our community to pause, reflect, and stand together in compassion. Detroiters can enjoy arts and crafts, food, and a pre‑season football game, creating an atmosphere that reflects the vibrancy of our city and the people who make it home. Many community partners will be present, offering resources, encouragement, and opportunities to engage. Together, we honor the past, embrace the present, and commit to building a future where every life is valued and every journey is supported.

Join us to honor the lives lost to overdose, uplift those walking the path of recovery, and acknowledge the families and friends who carry these stories every day. This day is about remembrance, but it is equally about hope—recognizing the strength, resilience, and healing that continue to grow within our city.
