Healthy Harold’s Festival of Health returns to Moree
Wednesday, 15 Jul 2026
Healthy Harold’s Festival of Health is returning to Moree, bringing local schools, families and community organisations together for a week of free activities celebrating children’s health and wellbeing.
The festival will see Healthy Harold visit local schools and early learning centres throughout the week before the community comes together for two free family events – a new Family Cybersafety Information Session on Monday 3 August and the much-loved Healthy Harold Colour Run on Tuesday 4 August.
Life Ed NSW CEO Terese Hooper said the festival was an example of how preventative health education and family support could be delivered directly within regional communities.
Every child should have access to high-quality health and wellbeing education, no matter where they live
“The Festival of Health brings that support into the community in a way that is practical, engaging and connected to the schools and local services families already know and trust.
“What makes the festival so valuable is the partnership behind it. By working alongside schools, families and community organisations, we can respond to local needs, strengthen connections and support better outcomes for children over the long term.”
New to this year’s festival is a free Family Cybersafety Information Session, to be held at PCYC Moree on Monday 3 August from 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm.
Presented by Life Ed specialist educator Kira Hazel, the interactive session has been designed for parents, carers and children to participate in together. Families will explore practical ways to support safe and positive technology use, establish healthy boundaries around devices and create a Family Technology Agreement they can continue using at home.
The session is delivered by Life Ed, an approved provider of the eSafety Commissioner, in partnership with PCYC Moree and Centacare.
Online safety is one of the issues families are increasingly seeking support with, and it is important that they can access trusted, practical guidance within their own community
“This session gives families the opportunity to learn together and leave with practical strategies they can use in everyday family life.”
The festival will conclude with the free Healthy Harold Colour Run at Jellicoe Park on Tuesday 4 August from 3.30 pm to 5.00 pm.
Children and families are encouraged to wear a white shirt and join Healthy Harold for a colourful afternoon of fun, featuring interactive activities, local community organisations and opportunities to connect with services that support children and families across Moree.
Australian Bananas will once again support the event by providing free bananas for participants, helping families refuel while promoting healthy everyday food choices.
“Australian Bananas are proud to support Healthy Harold’s Moree Festival of Health, which brings the community together and champions making healthy living accessible and enjoyable,” said Emma Day, Senior Marketing Manager for Australian Bananas.
“It’s a great way to share the joy and energy of bananas while helping families refuel with a simple, natural snack during a fun, active afternoon.”
The Healthy Harold Colour Run is proudly supported by Australian Bananas, Moree Plains Shire Council, Centacare, Moree Family Support, Byamee Support Services and the Lions Club of Moree.
Both events are free and open to the Moree community.
