Family Fun, Health and Community Come Together at the Wellness Festival

Saturday, September 26 – 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM

White Plains, NY – August 26, 2026.  

The City of White Plains Youth Bureau is excited to host the Family Fun Wellness Festival on September 26 at Tibbits Park from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This annual festival brings families and the community together for an afternoon filled with health-focused activities, fun, educational opportunities and community connection.

The Wellness Festival educates our residents about taking care of themselves and their families through fun activities and on-site experts sharing knowledge on topics ranging from fitness and nutrition to substance abuse and mental health.

This vibrant event offers something for everyone! There will be music and dancing to our upbeat DJ and our featured teen bands. Attendees can join in on Zumba, cardio and yoga sessions, learning about the health benefits while having fun and maybe even working up a sweat. Activities for kids and teens include arts and crafts, face painting and henna tattoos.

Multiple free health screenings, wellness checks and vaccinations for COVID and flu will be offered. EMS professionals will provide demonstrations on life-saving techniques that could make a critical difference in an emergency. Dozens of vendors will be on hand sharing information about products and services that support healthy living for the whole family. The Wellness Festival teaches that everyone can get involved in making healthy choices and having a positive impact within our community.

The Wellness Festival recognizes that being healthy means considering an individual holistically. There will also be mental health resources on-site to discuss how to support your family’s emotional well-being. Substance Abuse Prevention Education and Certified Prevention Specialists will be available with materials on preventing substance abuse.

This event is the perfect day for families to enjoy quality time together while engaging with the local community. We look forward to seeing you there!

The Wellness Festival is a celebration of health, wellness, and community, made possible through the generous support of our premier health partners. We are proud to partner with White Plains Hospital, our Community Health Sponsor, and with NewYork-Presbyterian, our Youth Mental Wellness Sponsor. We also extend our deep gratitude to Westchester Medical Center and the Hospital for Special Surgery for their dedication to the health and vitality of our White Plains families. Attendees are encouraged to stop by these organizations’ booths throughout the day to meet their experts and access invaluable wellness resources.
