5 PTS @ Healing Appalachia 2025

Healing Appalachia 2025

In September 2025, we were honored to return to Healing Appalachia at the Boyd County Fairgrounds in Ashland, Kentucky. The festival welcomed nearly 20,000 attendees, with headlining performances by Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers.

Our onsite services included coordinating accommodations, accessible parking and drop-off, mobility shuttles, and managing the ADA viewing deck near the main stage. We also deployed the 5PTS Soundpack to support hearing and sensory needs, distributed free ear protection for all ages, and provided way-finding and check-in assistance for ADA guests.

Healing Appalachia’s mission — to connect and grow communities of recovery and healing across Appalachia while raising funds and awareness to combat opioid addiction — closely reflects our own values at 5 Points. By helping make the festival experience more inclusive, we expand access to the music, the community, and the message of recovery.

Attendee feedback highlighted the value of the dedicated viewing deck and the hearing and sensory support tools. We’re proud to contribute to this mission and look forward to strengthening this partnership in the years ahead.
