Now in its sixth year, the event has grown, however its mission remains unchanged: To provide the community with a variety of holistic health practitioners and services in one location.
"Our intention is to increase awareness of the holistic options to living a happy and healthy life, even in these chaotic times," said JR Carmany, founder of the holistic health fair and owner of Soup to Nuts.
It's also a free opportunity for visitors to "meet and learn from the many talented healers and providers in our local community," she added.
Free and discounted services such as ionizing foot baths, reflexology, chair massage, Thai massage, reiki and animal totem readings are a great way for visitors to get a hands-on experience at the health fair, Carmany said.
The event starts at 10 a.m. with a Buddhist blessing.
