Senior Black American Health Fair

The Senior Black American Health Fair is a free community wellness event from the Pennington Biomedical Research Foundation, held at the Pennington Biomedical Conference Center in Baton Rouge. It promotes senior health and longevity while working to address the health disparities that affect the Black and African American community. Attendees can take advantage of free on-site health checks, including screenings for glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, hearing, A1c, and memory. The program also features a healthy-aging panel, live entertainment, and physical-activity zones where guests can get moving, making it as engaging as it is informative. The fair is designed for seniors and for the Black and African American community, but it is open to everyone in Greater Baton Rouge. Admission is free, and the day includes free parking along with a complimentary breakfast and lunch, so guests can plan to spend the morning and midday on-site. Full program details are still being finalized, so check the event page closer to the April 2027 date for the schedule and any registration information.
