Active Auburn accepting applications for the 2019 FitFest

Active Auburn is now accepting vendor applications for FitFest 2019: a Health, Fitness and Lifestyle Fair to be held on Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019, from 2 – 5 p.m. at Frank Brown Recreation Center.

FitFest 2019 grants the opportunity for local fitness and health studios, gyms and organizations to connect with Auburn area residents and showcase their products and services to the community.

In addition to tabling at the event, vendors have the option to offer a 10–20 minute pop-up class for event attendees to participate in.

PLEASE NOTE: Pop-up classes will be open to event participants ages 16 or older.

Applications are due by Friday, Jan. 4, at 5 p.m. and may submitted in one of three ways:
