Also known as Vibe 3on3 it will be the second time the event has been held in town.
Event executive producer Gavin Jones said there would be something for all students on the day.
"We are looking forward to providing a fun-filled and healthy day with lots of activities and learning," he said.
Hosted by actor Luke Carroll, the event features a 3on3 basketball tournament, rapping and break dancing lessons, art workshops, a dance competition and a health expo, all accompanied by a backing track of the latest RnB, hip hop and Indigenous music.
Role models on the day will include artist and comedian Kevin Kropinyeri, Move It Mob Style dancers Jake Thomson and Juanita Duncan, Jimblah, one of the freshest and most powerful voices in local hip hop in Australia, and Wagga sportsman, Joe Williams.
The health expo will bring together local and regional health organisations together, so students can connect with the health providers in their communities, and learn about health in a fun, engaging and interactive environment.
"We've had an overwhelming response from local health organisations and community groups," Mr Jones said.
"The Leeton 3on3 health expo is promising to be a real feature of the event.
"There will be interactive elements and giveaways, and lots of information for young people from healthy living through to good mental health and nutrition."
The event aims to promote healthy lifestyles, strengthen communities and boost self-esteem.
