Recovery Fest Hickman is a full-day celebration of resilience, wellness, and connection in the Hickman County. From our Live Love Run 5K & 1-Mile Walk in the morning, to live music, inspiring speakers, family activities, food, and local vendors throughout the afternoon, the festival offers something meaningful for everyone. Held at the legendary Hideaway Farm — once owned and cherished by Johnny Cash as "the center of the universe, where gravity begins." — the event brings together families, neighbors, and advocates to honor recovery, raise awareness, and strengthen community.
Admission is free for everyone, all are welcome!
Live Love Run 5K & 1-Mile Walk
Start Time: 8:00 AM
Kick off the day with purpose and energy at our Live Love Run 5K Trail Run & 1-Mile Walk for Suicide Awareness.
Take strides for a cause that matters. Whether you're a seasoned runner or prefer a peaceful walk, your presence makes a difference. Wind through scenic trails, soak in the fresh Tennessee air, and experience the tranquil beauty of Hideaway Farm — now lovingly maintained by the Oxley family. This event is for everyone - run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines!
All proceeds from the 5k event support suicide prevention and recovery awareness efforts.
At 10:30 AM, gather with us for a tender moment of remembrance as Darrell Waltrip Subaru hosts a special Monarch Butterfly Release following the Live Love Run 5K.
Each butterfly, lovingly nurtured in partnership with our community, will take flight in memory of those we’ve lost to suicide and overdose, and those who have survived. As their wings open to the sky, they carry with them our love, our grief, and our hope for healing.
This beautiful ceremony is more than a release—it is a celebration of resilience, renewal, and the enduring strength of families and friends who carry these memories in their hearts.
Together, we honor their lives and embrace the promise of brighter tomorrows.
