Last week, Centacare hosted Armidale's very first Wellness and Connection Festival, and it was a huge success! The event brought our community together, with many enjoying the live performances from BackTrack, music by Mad Proppa Deadly, face painting, fairy floss, and a free sausage or steak sandwich.
A special thanks also goes to all the volunteers, local businesses, and attendees who helped make the day so memorable. Your energy and enthusiasm truly made the festival a celebration of wellness, connection, and community spirit. We look forward to building on this success and continuing to create spaces where people can come together, support each other, and enjoy all that our community has to offer. We’d love to hear your feedback on the day or any suggestions you have for future events. Feel free to give us a call at 6738 7200 or email us at armidale@centacarenenw.com.au.
Stay tuned for more exciting events in the future!
