Get ready to get messy. Kempsey’s Service Club Park will burst into colour this Wednesday, 11 November, as Healthy Harold’s Kempsey Festival of Health returns for its third year.
The free afternoon event will bring together families from across the Mid North Coast for interactive wellbeing activities, family-friendly entertainment, community information stalls, and the ever-popular Colour Run.
“Healthy Harold’s Kempsey Festival of Health is a vibrant celebration of healthy living, community connection and positive wellbeing,” said Life Ed NSW CEO Terese Hooper.
“It brings families together in a fun and inclusive environment, while helping children and young people build the knowledge and confidence to make healthy choices for life.”
Hooper said the festival had become a much-loved community event.
The festival is part of a two-week health education push delivered by Life Ed NSW and backed by more than 12 local organisations.
Over that time, more than 900 children across nine schools and early learning centres will take part in Life Ed sessions on safety, wellbeing, and making positive life choices.
The festival also gives families a chance to connect with local health and community services, all while enjoying an afternoon packed with fun, learning, and celebration.
Event partner Australian Bananas is back again too, handing out free bananas to keep everyone energised through the afternoon.
“Healthy Harold’s Kempsey Festival of Health is a fantastic opportunity for families to come together, get active and celebrate the importance of looking after both their physical and mental health,” said Australian Bananas Senior Marketing Manager Emma Day.
Day said the organisation was proud to support an event that promotes healthy lifestyles and community wellbeing.
