Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center Memory Walk & Brain Health Festival 2026

Lace up your sneakers for a deeply meaningful experience at the Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center Memory Walk & Brain Health Festival 2026, set to take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at Marjorie Post Park in Massapequa Park, NY. This inspiring 1-mile walk is more than just a physical activity; it's a powerful community gathering dedicated to raising awareness, honoring those impacted by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, and generating vital funds for the Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center (ADRC) to continue its critical mission of providing care, support, and education to Long Island families.

The event promises a day filled with hope and connection, beginning with a grab-and-go breakfast and a program ceremony before the walk commences at 10:00 AM. Participants can look forward to a vibrant Brain Health Festival afterward, featuring engaging activities, informative resources, and a celebratory BBQ lunch, making it a truly family-friendly occasion. Past festivals have included entertainment like music, face painting, planting activities, and a "touch a truck" experience, creating a festive atmosphere for all ages. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 79°F and lows around 63°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, it's an ideal day to join the "Seeds of Hope, Steps of Love" themed walk, rain or shine.

While navigating the gentle terrain of Marjorie Post Park on the designated "Memory path," participants will find themselves part of a supportive network, walking alongside individuals and families who understand the challenges of dementia. The ADRC, a reputable organization with over two decades of dedicated service, ensures that all funds raised stay on Long Island to directly benefit local families. Your participation not only supports an incredible cause but also grants you a Walk Tote Bag filled with goodies, with the opportunity to earn a commemorative T-shirt by raising $100.
