Grafton Farmers Markets with Healthy Harold
Thursday, 7 Mar 2024
Healthy Harold’s Festival of Health is more than just an event; it's a platform aimed at shining a spotlight on health and wellbeing within regional communities. By fostering conversations and sparking interest, this initiative strives to raise awareness for wellbeing through a whole-of-community approach.
In the picturesque town of Grafton, nestled in the heart of New South Wales, Healthy Harold’s Grafton Festival of Health is making waves. From the 18th March to 28th March, the festival will engage over 1,150 Grafton children and young people through the Life Ed program, hosted at their school or early learning centre. Through engaging and interactive education sessions, Life Ed aims to empower all children and young people to make informed choices and lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
Complementing these educational visits are a variety of engaging community events, organised in collaboration with local health organisations. Among the highlights of the festival is the Grafton Farmers Market with Healthy Harold and friends, a vibrant celebration of wholesome living.
