“We will be amazed”

The theme of the 35th Annual McHenry’s Soberfest is “We will be amazed”. 

“If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.”

– Alcoholics Anonymous (4th ed.), Chapter 6, ‘Into Action’,  pg. 83

Our 2024 logo represents the journey we find in alcoholics anonymous as the promises come true.

The theme for the 36th Annual McHenry’s Soberfest is “We will be amazed”. Come join us and discover how we, our guests and your friends understand and interpret the meaning of how “We will be amazed”.

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.
