A festival celebrating wellness in the community is coming to Mylan Park in Morgantown, West Virginia.

West Virginia Wellness Festival, sponsored by Mylan Park Properties and the nonprofit Forgiven Warrior, is slated for July 22 at The Aquatic Center & Track Complex at Mylan Park.

The WV Wellness Festival is a charitable event, bringing the region’s wellness resources to one place for a family-friendly afternoon of live music, a wellness fair, healthy food, a 5k, a fitness competition, giveaways, and culminating with a fun “Mon Health Movies Among the Mountains” showing centered in and around The Track Complex at Mylan Park.

Built to continue as an annual event, the festival is open to all ages with free admission to the wellness fair and live entertainment. Registration is required for athletes to compete in the 5k and fitness competitions. Details can be found at ForgivenWarrior.org/WVWellnessFestival/.
