Homestead Hosts 1st Annual Community Health & Wellness Fair – A Day for the Whole Family
Mark your calendars! The City of Homestead is rolling out the red carpet for health and happiness at its 1st Annual Community Health & Wellness Fair on Saturday, September 6, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Phichol Williams Community Center (951 SW 4th Street, Homestead, FL 33030).
Hosted by the Community Development & Human Services Division, this exciting new event is more than just a fair—it’s a community celebration designed to give residents free access to essential health services, wellness education, and valuable resources that can make a lasting difference in their lives.
From young children to seniors, everyone can take advantage of a wide range of free screenings, including:
– Cancer Screenings: Prostate, cervical, and colorectal
– Basic Health Screenings: Blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, BMI, body fat analysis, and diabetes risk assessments
– Dental Services: A Mobile Dental Clinic offering free and comprehensive care for low-income, uninsured individuals in Miami-Dade County
– Specialty Screenings: Hepatitis B and C, plus audiology services.
But the Health & Wellness Fair isn’t just about check-ups and tests—it’s about empowering our community with knowledge and tools for a healthier future. Local healthcare providers, community organizations, and public agencies will be on-site with educational materials, demonstrations, and one-on-one guidance to help you and your family live your healthiest life.
And because wellness is about having fun too, the event will feature:
• Walk-up food distribution provided by Farm Share
• Smoothie bikes where you can blend your own delicious, healthy drink
• Zumba demonstrations to get your body moving
• Family entertainment and engaging activities for all ages
• Giveaways and take-home resources to keep you on track long after the event ends.
This free, family-friendly event is made possible through the support of incredible partners including Aetna, University of Miami Sylvester Cancer Center, Baptist Health, the Florida Department of Health, Farm Share, CVS Health, Caring for Miami, and Leon Medical Centers.
Whether you’re looking to get a health check, learn about local resources, or simply spend a joyful day with your neighbors, the 1st Annual Community Health & Wellness Fair is the place to be.
