The Kids Fitness Festival of The Palm Beaches presented by Baptist Health returns to the South Florida Fairgrounds this July

The Kids Fitness Festival of The Palm Beaches presented by Baptist Health will take place on Wednesday, July 9, at the South Florida Fairgrounds. Celebrating its 22nd year, the Kids Fitness Festival of The Palm Beaches encourages the county’s children to participate in sports while embracing fitness and healthy lifestyles. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission organizes this sports festival annually to develop and promote the positive aspects of sports participation, which can provide positive impacts throughout a lifetime.

Elementary and middle school children, ages 5 to 12, will participate in interactive clinics to learn the fundamentals for a variety of sports. Over 1,500 children are registered and will experience more than 20 different sports. The interactive sports clinics are produced by local and national sports organizations.

“We at Baptist Health are proud to serve as the presenting sponsor for the 2025 Kids Fitness Festival of the Palm Beaches,” said Reggie Laroche, Assistant Vice President of Baptist Health Orthopedic Care. “At Baptist Health, we believe in the power of sports and fitness to inspire and unite the youth in our communities. We look forward to continuing our support for youth sports and health initiatives that enrich the lives of so many.”

The South Florida Fairgrounds is the Kids Fitness Festival’s venue for the third consecutive year. The South Florida Fairgrounds has been a frequent site for this event over the last two decades and was home to the inaugural Kids Fitness Festival of The Palm Beaches during the summer of 2003.

Feature sports for the 2025 Kids Fitness Festival include basketball, golf, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, football, flag football, BMX, cricket, croquet, tennis, beach tennis, pickleball, hockey, cornhole, endurance training, and a variety of fun and games.
