There were also stalls and presence from Coventry City Hosts, West Midlands Police, Wellbeing for Life, Family Health and Lifestyle Service, Public Health services and Go CV.
The free annual sporting event will be in Coventry city centre every day between 10am and 4pm until Sunday, August 1, boasting a huge range of free activities for all ages and abilities each day.
There will also be stalls offering free health and wellbeing information along with Go CV services each day from 11am to 3pm.
The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games team will join the event tomorrow (Friday, July 30), along with Perry, the Birmingham 2022 mascot.

“We saw loads of happy faces enjoying being part of an event for the first time in a while.
