Mark your calendars for a wellness extravaganza as the Kroger Wellness Festival takes over Downtown Cincinnati on September 27 and 28 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. This year, the festival is relocating to a more spacious locale on Fifth Street as it outgrows its previous spot at The Banks, an announcement shared by FOX19. Boasting over 200 experiences, from fitness crunches to cooking sizzles, the event promotes a well-rounded approach to health, focusing on balance, breathing, caring, moving, playing, and uplifting.
Grab your chance to see popular acts like Third Eye Blind today and Jason Derulo headlining tomorrow's festivities without spending a dime on entry, confirmed by WCPO. If music isn't your jam, the festival ticks many other boxes with celebrity chef demos, sports personalities, and wellness experts strolling the event grounds. And yes, star power is no joke, with names like Alex Rodriguez, Chrissy Teigen, and Dustin Poirier on the guest list, as PR Newswire reports.
The event brags a large gamut of inclusive activities, but this year, it's implementing a strict rule: no to the carts, wagons, and other ample, wheeled storage. This means attendees will have to get creative with how they schlep their swag, as oversized backpacks and rolling luggage won't cut for safety and security reasons, per information from FOX19. But let's be honest, it's a small price to pay for a day of freebies and knowledge from the health gurus.
Partnerships have always been the creme to the wellness festival's coffee, and this year, heavy hitters like P&G and PepsiCo are bringing their A-game as proud sponsors. "At PepsiCo, we are dedicated to lifting the communities in which we work and live," said Brad Hoener, SVP, PepsiCo, emphasizing the joy in concocting healthier and happier lifestyles. These sentiments echo the core mission statement of the festival, which is to provide accessible health resources served in a family-friendly package, as Colleen Lindholz, president of Kroger Health, claimed in her update to PR Newswire.
