The Fitness Expo will be presented on the main stage at noon and feature International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness award-winner Donna McGinn, and local champions Danny DeJesus and Gerald Saragosa.
Also featured will be two Zumba sessions, a tug of war between Big Island firefighters and police and the thunder of taiko drums. A huge bounce castle will be available free for the keiki all day.
And more than 40 vendors will offer a variety of food, treats, beverages, local crafts and products.
The event is free to the public; donations to the Hawaii Island Food Basket are encouraged. Those making donations, cash or nonperishable foods, will receive lucky drawing tickets for giveaways.
