GrowingGreat’s community events accomplish multiple goals:

Increasing consciousness for nutrition education as a preventive healthcare tool.

Promoting local farmers’ markets.

Raising funds for GrowingGreat initiatives.

Healthy Living Festival

Thousands of people attend the Healthy Living Festival, which occurs in May in Manhattan Beach, CA. Over 65 exhibitors and vendors share information on healthy eating, fun, and fitness under a sea of market umbrellas and surrounded by colorful baskets and flowers.

Musical groups, fitness demonstrators, and educational speakers entertain the diverse crowd that comes from all over Los Angeles. Healthy food samplings are plentiful and have been sponsored in previous festivals by Whole Foods Market, Manhattan Beach Farmers Market, our Food Manufacturer Partners, Grow the Produce Shop, and a plethora of local restaurants, socially-conscious organizations, and businesses.
