We are thrilled to announce that Be Well Philly Fest presented by Premier Orthopaedics and Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center is returning this year!
The 2026 Be Well Philly Fest is happening on Sunday, May 17th from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Bok!
Be Well Philly Fest is our annual event focused on all things wellness so that you feel motivated, empowered, and inspired. Expect an array of express workouts (so you can get a “taste” of different modalities), hands-on wellness activities, and learning opportunities — all designed to help you tap into your best self.
Plus, there’ll be an interactive marketplace where you can sample and shop from local businesses. Your ticket also includes a nutritious breakfast and lunch, as well as access to our end-of-event social hour so you can mingle with fellow attendees.
