Get ready, Memphis! Summer’s not over ‘til we say it is—and this year, the Healthier 901 movement is closing out the season with even more ways to get moving, get inspired, get connected and get healthy.

Join us Saturday, August 30, from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. at Shelby Farms Park for the third annual Healthier 901 Fest, a free, family-friendly celebration powered by Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare and generous community partners. From cooking demos and fitness fun to kid-friendly adventures, community resources and more, Healthier 901 Fest is your invitation to kickstart a healthy new season of living—however healthy looks for you.

Here’s what to expect in 2025:

1. Healthier 901 Fest is FREE, fun and for everyone. Whether you’re looking to take your first steps toward a healthier lifestyle or simply want to spend the day enjoying food, music and movement with friends and family, this event is open to all. Admission is free, and so are most of the activities, so bring your people and come ready to explore.
2. New this year: a ½-mile Wellness Walk + physical challenge zones. Healthier 901 Fest is adding new opportunities to get active at your own speed. The ½-mile Wellness Walk is an open, go-at-your-own-pace path that kicks off when the event begins and stays open all day. You can also try your hand at a few new physical challenge areas built to get your body moving and your heart pumping, no matter your fitness level.
3. Discover your health match at the Find Your Fit Zone. Explore Memphis-area wellness resources—from walking clubs and amateur sports leagues to nutrition-focused vendors and mental wellness services—designed to help you discover what fits your lifestyle best.
4. Free health screenings. Thanks to Cigna Healthcare, adults 18 and up can receive complimentary health screenings onsite. It’s a great way to check in on your health, learn these key numbers and get personalized support to help guide your wellness journey. Screenings are limited, so arrive early to secure your spot!
5. Cooking demos with a healthy twist. Local culinary star, Chef Ragan Oglesby-Phillips, a guest chef from Kroger, will lead cooking demos, sharing simple, delicious recipes that bring flavor and nutrition together on one happy plate.
6. Family fun for days in the Le Bonheur Family Zone. Little ones (and the young at heart) can bounce, climb, roll and race their way through a zone packed with energy-burning favorites.
7. Group fitness, games and good vibes. Join the crowd on the Main Lawn for energizing group workouts led by Memphis’ favorite local trainers. Think cardio, dance and low-impact activities—plus games, challenges and a DJ spinning feel-good beats all day long.
8. Eat well with healthier food truck fare. A curated lineup of food trucks will be serving up good-for-you eats and refreshing treats, available for purchase. Whether you’re craving a wholesome bowl, a grilled wrap, or a plant-powered snack, something tasty awaits you.
9. Giveaways and prizes from beloved brands. Throughout the day, attendees can snag free swag and enter to win awesome prizes from Healthier 901 Fest sponsors—including Cigna Healthcare, Nike, Kroger, the YMCA of Memphis and the Mid-South, Action News 5 and more.
