Free Health Screenings and Wellness Fair Today

Glendale, CA · May 31, 2026

The Civic Auditorium is buzzing early today as the annual Health Festival kicks off its tenth year of providing community care. It is a bright, clear morning—perfect for a walk down to the Artsakh Avenue market before the afternoon heat settles in.

📰 The Lead

The Glendale Health Festival celebrates a decade of service today at the Civic Auditorium, offering a wide range of free medical services to the community. This isn't just a pamphlet-and-handshake event; residents can access on-site dental cleanings, vision screenings, and blood pressure checks without a prior appointment. For many neighbors, this acts as a primary point of care, while for others, it is a chance to meet the local specialists who staff our nearby medical centers.

Beyond the clinical side, the parking lot will host a fleet of food trucks and a dedicated kids' zone with obstacle courses and interactive games. Doors open at 10:00 AM, and organizers recommend arriving early if you are seeking specific screenings, as the dental and vision slots typically fill up by noon. The event is expected to wrap up by 3:00 PM.

    • The 100-foot tall neon-lit tower of this North Brand landmark has guided residents toward entertainment since 1925. Originally a vaudeville house and movie palace, the theater’s Greek and Egyptian architectural flourishes were meticulously restored to maintain its Art Deco grandeur. It stands today as a premier venue for the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles.
