Why Drewfest 2026?

Because no child should ever feel like they have to face mental health challenges alone.

Because parents, families, and communities deserve the tools and support to help before a crisis happens.

Because one conversation can create connection. One connection can create hope. And hope can change a life.

Drewfest 2026 is more than an event—it's a movement bringing together our community to break down stigma, start important conversations, and invest in the mental health of our youth. We believe the earlier we support, educate, and connect young people, the stronger and healthier our communities become.

What to Expect

Join us for an unforgettable day featuring:

Inspiring keynote speakers and powerful personal stories
Honest conversations that reduce stigma and build understanding
Community connections with local mental health organizations
Music, energy, and moments that will leave you inspired

Hope grows when our commumity comes together.

On October 18, 2026, we'll gather at Lucille in downtown Madison to celebrate hope, inspire change, and remind one another that no one has to face mental health challenges alone.
