    Sobriety in the City: Minneapolis/St. Paul – Spring to Life Celebration

    Since embracing sobriety, Truth Molloy’s passion for events has soared above all else. He attended meetings daily in early recovery but found that recovery community events ignited his spirit. The infrequency of such events led him to seek more opportunities to groove to great music in a safe & sober environment.

    In early October 2023, Truth and a DJ friend of his toyed with the idea of hosting their event. They found their first venue, designed event flyers, and distributed them across local recovery support meetings and community spaces. The event’s success hinged on attendance, so Truth made promoting it his mission.

    Turnout for the first haunted house party exceeded expectations, with 100 enthusiastic participants. Within minutes of the dance floor opening, 50 people started grooving to the beats. The atmosphere was electrifying, with hanging lights, strobes, and fog machines creating a memorable experience for everyone involved. The enormous success encouraged Truth to organize the next event—the “Pre-New Year Hip Hop House Party.” This one would be even more successful, attracting 180+ attendees and garnering rave reviews for its vibrant ambiance and lively energy.

    Truth’s upcoming event, “Spring to Life Celebration,” promises to be another epic night filled with music, laughter, and good vibes!

    Event Date: Friday, March 29th

    Event Time: 8:30 pm – 1 am

    Event Location: 2218 Alano – The Alano Society of Minneapolis

    2218 1st Ave S. Minneapolis, MN 55404

    Event Schedule:

    • Doors Open at 8:30 pm
    • Recovery Speaker at 9 pm
    • Open Mic at 9:30 pm – includes original work, hip hop, guitar solos & standup comedy!
    • Dance Party at 10 pm
    • Party Ends 1 am (you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here)
