Healing Appalachia, the world’s largest recovery-based music festival, was founded in 2018 with the support of Grammy-nominated country artist Tyler Childers, who has dedicated his time and resources to the cause. Held annually in Lewisburg, WV, the festival brings together artists, fans, and recovery advocates in a powerful celebration of hope and healing. Childers, originally from Kentucky and once a resident of Huntington and Lewisburg, WV, has garnered millions of fans and critical acclaim for his heartfelt music, and his ongoing commitment to Healing Appalachia has made a significant impact on the festival’s growth.
In preparation for the 2024 festival, Symmetry partnered with the Healing Appalachia team to develop a custom ticketing system tailored to their unique needs. We also supported festival logistics, marketing, and front-of-house operations, ensuring a smooth and successful event. Our involvement extended to customer service and relations, managing the front gate operations to enhance the overall attendee experience (estimated at over 10,000 attendees). Through these efforts, we helped ensure that Healing Appalachia continues to make a meaningful impact, bringing people together for both music and recovery in the heart of West Virginia.
