Downtown Festival is All About Good Food and Good Living

The annual Healthy Living Festival hit town yesterday, showcasing nutritious eats, fitness and eco-friendly living.

Around 65 exhibitors converged in downtown Manhattan Beach on Sunday for the 5th annual Healthy Living Festival. GrowingGreat, a nonprofit organization that provides schools with nutrition education and gardens, hosts the yearly eco-friendly festival.

Crowds wandered booth to booth sampling nutritious yet delicious eats. Other stations provided fitness and gardening services.

"All of our exhibitors are from different backgrounds throughout the community," said Sarah Gelb, executive director of GrowingGreat, "but they're teaching the community how to live a healthy lifestyle."
