This free event runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and brings together families, students, seniors, and neighbors for a day dedicated to health, wellness, and community connection.

Why This Event Matters

Health fairs like this are essential for breaking barriers and making health information more accessible to Brooklyn’s diverse communities. At STAR, we know that wellness extends beyond medical care. It’s about education, empowerment, and connection. Our participation is part of STAR’s ongoing outreach, which includes year-round social media campaigns, community events, and partnerships that amplify prevention, care, and stigma reduction.

What Else to Expect

In addition to STAR, the fair will feature:

  • Cooking demonstrations
  • Yoga sessions and fitness activities
  • Health screenings and resources
  • Raffles, giveaways, and kids’ activities
  • Senior engagement programs

This is a free event, and everyone is welcome. Early arrivals can enjoy special giveaways while supplies last.
