The 2026 edition of Healing By The Water filled Freedom Park every Thursday and September 10 for the season finale was no exception. A tremendous crowd, dressed in mostly white, gathered for one more summer night on the water for a variety of music, dance, prayer, spoken word performances and more, honoring our history, our ancestors and our undying hope and optimism for the future.

Thank you to the sponsors, the vendors, the community groups, the musicians, the volunteers, but most importantly, thank you, the incredible audience for turning out in such great numbers, enjoying the music, the history and the time together. We will see you again in the summer of 2027 in Freedom Park.
