The 2K interactive, meditative walk is designed to be fluid throughout the day - no start time, no pressure. Whether you join for five minutes or the full experience, it’s an opportunity to slow down, breathe, and move at your own pace alongside others on a shared journey. The heart of the day continues with a vibrant wellness fair featuring local vendors, mental health advocates, and holistic practitioners offering resources, tools, and inspiration.

Kids can play on the big obstacle course, bounce house, engage in the huge games, families can relax, and everyone can enjoy food trucks and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to stay awhile. Home Depot will be there to build small crafts with all who would like to get creative. What makes this event truly special is the sense of unity it creates.
