Health, Love, and Music Festival
July 2025 | 11 AM - 7 PM
2974 West Grand Blvd | Detroit, MI

 

The Health, Love, and Music Festival is a dynamic celebration of Detroit’s Motown legacy, mental health awareness, and community empowerment. Hosted along the iconic Stevie Wonder Avenue, this event brings together music, wellness, and purpose to uplift our community.

​

Legacy of Empowerment
Founded in 1982 by Dr. Sharon DuMas, Full and Fabulous Global has inspired generations of plus-size women and girls to embrace their confidence and self-worth.
Our belief: “Full and Fabulous is a state of mind, not a dress size.”

​

Our Impact

The festival provides a crucial platform to address mental health disparities, particularly in minority communities, which were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Health, Love, and Music Festival blends entertainment with meaningful engagement, helping to foster community healing and resilience through:

  • Access to mental health resources and support.

  • Education on wellness and fitness.

  • Celebrating Detroit’s music legacy while advocating for cultural and mental health awareness.​
