5:00pm – 9:00pm

Held at the HVMHC Winona Clinic location -420 East Sarnia St

Join us for an evening of music, fun, food, learning and community connection as we explore mental health. This event is to raise awareness of the darkness that mental health and addiction can evoke but through darkness there is a light of hope that can build resiliency and recovery. The band Inertia will highlight the evening by playing under the tent from 5:00pm – 9:00pm with an intermission from 7:15-8:00. Senator Jeremy Miller, Winona Mayor Scott Sherman, and HVMHC Executive Director Erik Sievers highlight the speakers on the main stage from 7:15-8:00pm. Explore the resource fair, live interactive learning sessions, food trucks and more from 5:00-9:00pm. This is a free community event, and everyone is invited to join us!
