Important Details

Health fairs play a crucial role in our community's well-being. They provide learning opportunities, from how to eat healthier to learning crucial self-care practices. It's also a fantastic way to connect with your local community, ensuring you have the support to lead a healthier life. In our commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environment, we remind attendees that our site is fragrance-free to protect individuals with fragrance allergies and chemical sensitivities. We appreciate your cooperation in not wearing scented products to the fair.

  • Vaccines are free**, but please bring your health insurance cards, as providers may be billed. No one will be turned away.

  • To ensure a smooth experience, you can skip the line by reserving your vaccine time. Although registration is encouraged, it's not mandatory, with vaccinations administered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Let's make this March about health and wellness! Mark your calendars and bring your friends and family. Let's enjoy a day filled with health, learning, and community spirit. See you there!
