2024 Program
“Peace of Mind”
The theme of the 36th Annual McHenry’s Soberfest is “Peace of Mind”.
“As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we could face life successfully, as we became conscious of His presence, we began to lose our fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter. We were reborn.”
– Alcoholics Anonymous (4th ed.), Chapter 5, ‘How It Works’, pg. 63
Our 2025 logo represents the journey we find in alcoholics anonymous as the promises come true.

The theme for the 36th Annual McHenry’s Soberfest is “Peace of Mind”. Come join us and discover how we, our guests and your friends understand and interpret the meaning of “Peace of Mind”.
The conference will be held at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, November 21st – 22rd, 2025.
We are deaf and hard of hearing friendly. ASL Interpreters will be provided at conference.
