Fairhaven Full Bloom Wellness Festival returns to Cushman Park

While not everyone will be able to do what the people in the photo above are doing at this year’s Full Bloom Wellness Festival, there’s still plenty to enjoy and do at this year’s event for adults and children alike.

The fourth annual Full Bloom Wellness Festival is scheduled to take place at Cushman Park in Fairhaven from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, June 30. Admission is free.

The festival is hosted by Soul Flower Yoga and Wellness Center in Fairhaven, and was visited by Sam Danga of Soul Flower and Eric Britt of True Bounce. Town Square Sunday To spread the word about this year’s festival.

“The festival is about promoting local small businesses, supporting each other, giving back to the community and supporting the charities around us,” Dunga said.

This year’s event will include a full lineup of live music, with 12 performers scheduled to perform from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will also be yoga classes, a reptile show, craft vendors, games for kids and food trucks.

Eric Britt and his True Bounce team will present an anti-bullying program followed by a 3-on-3 basketball tournament at Cushman Park on a newly painted court with a new backboard.

He also introduces new types of games.

“It’s a reverse quick action game,” Britt said. “The closer you are to the basket, the more points you score. The further away you are from the hoop, the less points you score. We want the kids to get the ball to the basket while also being proactive and teaching them sportsmanship at the same time.”

This year’s Full Bloom Festival will support Gifts to Give of New Bedford. Festival-goers are asked to bring gently used clothing to put in the Gifts to Give trailer. Danga said there is a real need for clothing for infants and toddlers, as well as back-to-school supplies.
