Kroger Wellness Festival happening in September, will bring Carrie Underwood to Cincinnati

The Kroger Wellness Festival is coming to Cincinnati in September, and this year's event will feature a special guest appearance by Carrie Underwood.

The free, two-day festival from Kroger will run Sept. 23 and 24 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at The Banks. It will celebrate a holistic approach to healthy living through six core pillars of transformation: balance, move, breathe, care, uplift and play.

Wellness festival attendees can participate in celebrity fitness challenges, live cooking demos, a family fun zone and product sampling. Industry experts focused on physical, mental and emotional well-being will also be present.
