Texas Panhandle Overdose Awareness invites the community to come together from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, August 22, 2026, at Sam Houston Park for an evening dedicated to remembering those lost to overdose, honoring those still fighting and celebrating the lives that have been saved.
The annual Overdose Awareness Event will combine remembrance and education with activities for the entire community. The event will feature live music, food trucks, a bouncy house, a silent auction, a tattoo raffle, free Narcan and Narcan training, overdose-prevention information and community resources.
After dark, attendees will gather for a candlelight vigil and reading of names honoring loved ones lost to overdose. Community members may also submit the name and photograph of a loved one to be included in the event memorial.
“Every person lost to overdose was someone’s child, parent, sibling, friend or loved one,” said Angie Duncan, founder of Texas Panhandle Overdose Awareness. “This event gives our community a place to remember them without shame or stigma while also sharing resources, supporting recovery and helping prevent future loss. Every life matters, and no family should have to face this alone.”
