The Kroger Wellness Festival, presented by PepsiCo and P&G, is returning on Sept. 27-28 from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. at a new location on Fifth Street in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.
The free health and wellness festival celebrates physical, mental and emotional health for the whole family. The festival will showcase more than 200 experiences and food offerings focused on six core pillars of transformation: balance, breathe, care, move, play and uplift.
Festival attendees can experience fitness activities, cooking demos, panel discussions, exhibitions, workshops and live music across six stages from brand sponsors: P&G, Gatorade, Kenvue, BODYARMOR, smartwater and American Greetings.
Headlining the festival are two free concerts: the Sept. 27 concert, presented by Campbell’s, will feature Third Eye Blind, and the Sept. 28 concert, presented by GoGo squeeZ, will feature Jason Derulo.
Three-time MVP and World Series Champion Alex Rodriguez, Food Network star and James Beard-award winning chef Maneet Chauhan, New York Times bestselling cookbook author Chrissy Teigen, MMA star Dustin Poirier and former WNBA player and registered dietitian nutritionist Briana Butler, among others, will also appear at the festival. The full schedule will be released later this month.

To assist with the safety and security of festival attendees and supporters, the Kroger Wellness Festival will prohibit the use of carts, wagons, suitcases, strollers without children, duffle bags, oversized backpacks, roller bags and wheeled carriers of any kind at this year’s festival.

“PepsiCo is a proud co-presenting sponsor inspiring festival guests to create more smiles for themselves and their families with every sip and bite.”
