A free fun filled family afternoon, Joy In The Park will host its inaugural event in Fitzgerald’s park in Cork on Sunday July 17, 2022 from 12noon until 6pm.
A carnival atmosphere will take over the park, promising a quirky and an eclectic mix of live music, spoken word, storytelling, children’s entertainment, circus, wellness activities alongside a delicious food market.
A diverse programme of entertainment, alongside recreational activities, workshops and information spaces provided through the community groups and organisations attending the event, Joy In The Park will balance that sense of fun with connection and understanding, whilst raising awareness for mental health and well-being.
Supported by Cork City Council and HSE and in partnership with Cork Mental Health Foundation, Joy In the Park will be a celebration of life, whilst highlighting the importance of minding our mental health and well-being through bringing the community together and finding our Joy.
