Community members are invited to gather at Barnes Park on Saturday, January 17, 2026 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for Resiliency Day, a day of community renewal, remembrance and hope. Resiliency Day recognizes the events of January 21, 2023 while promoting strength and healing through community connection.
At this free family event, attendees of all ages can enjoy music and live performances and connect with other community members through activities including taiko drumming, tai chi and karaoke.

For those seeking information and support, the Resiliency Fair allows attendees to talk one-on-one with community organizations working in mental health, physical health and social services.
