We believe in squeezing every last drop out of life
That looks different for everyone. For some, it's about performance and pushing their limits. For others, it's about longevity and learning what their body needs to stay healthy. And for many, it's about losing weight, reducing pain, or finally taking back control of their life story.
Our mission is to help both inspire and illuminate the way for people in finding their personal path to health. We're growing a grass-roots festival that celebrates our community and all the wonderful things ways to live a healthy and fulfilling life here in New Hampshire.
We also believe in giving back. This is a not-for-profit event, a portion of all proceeds will be donated to Kearsarge Neighborhood Partners. The rest will go into making this a sustainable event that can grow and support the community year after year.
Come join us for our first year!
