8 Dimensions of
Wellness at the
Purple Wave Festival
The Purple Wave Festival is a free one-day, celebratory event hosted by the DC Department of Behavioral Health during the nationally recognized National Recovery Month to promote healthy lifestyles and the positive impact of mental health and substance use recovery. The
purpose of this event is to let people know that recovery is possible and help is available for those impacted by mental illness and substance use in the District, especially the opioid
epidemic. The Festival is intended for anyone that has or is currently recovering from mental health disorders, substance use disorders, or homelessness, as well as everyone who supports recovery as a journey to a healthy lifestyle and wellness.

Journey to Wellness and Recovery
Upon entering the Festival, each attendee receives a passport from which they will navigate activities and available resources supplied by District government and community vendors catÂegorized according to the â8 Dimensions of Wellnessâ.

The main stage will feature all local talent in an exciting âEverything D.C.â showcase with a variÂety of entertainment and talent from around the DMV. The Purple Wave Fest seeks to provide opportunities for local talent to share their experiences and successes through the use of their artistic expression. This yearâs concert will once again close out with DCâs hometown go-go band, E.U ft. Sugar Bear.
