Get ready to sweat, smile and celebrate, New Orleans: Fit Fête is bringing a completely free wellness weekend to City Park on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14, 2026.
The two-day festival, dubbed WellNXT NOLA x Fest 2026, kicks off at Tad Gormley Stadium with the New Orleans Community Games: a multi-sport competition with skills challenges, team-building fun, opening and closing ceremonies and a celebration concert, all open to the public at no cost.
Saturday is all about movement and music. The beloved New Orleans Marathon makes its big return, with full and half marathons, a relay and a 5K starting and finishing at City Park, alongside more than 70 free wellness programs, two live stages and over 50 exhibitors.
Organizers expect around 30,000 attendees and have lined up more than 120 partners, including Ochsner Health and Athletic Brewing. After a successful Miami debut, Fit Fête’s second city activation is shaping up to be one of the Crescent City’s happiest, healthiest weekends of the fall.
