A free fun filled family afternoon, Joy In The Park will host its inaugural event in Fitzgerald's park in Cork city on Sunday July 17, 2022. A carnival atmosphere will take over the park, promising a quirky and an eclectic mix of live music, spoken word, theatre, storytelling, children's entertainment, circus, workshops, wellness activities alongside a delicious food market. With a diverse line-up of entertainment, alongside an engaging programme of 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. In Partnership with Cork Mental Health Foundation, Joy In The Park is supported and funded through Cork City Council's Art's department, Community, PARKS and Environment & Amenities, HSE Healthy Cities and Connecting For Life. Additional funding provided by IMRO, Jacobs Engineering and Shine A Light. Her name was Joy. She lived up to her name and brought so much Joy to everyone. 'Joy In The Park' is her legacy.
