A free fun filled family afternoon, Joy In The Park held its inaugural event in Fitzgerald’s Park, Cork City on Sunday July 17, 2022.  

A carnival atmosphere was present throughout the day with a quirky and an eclectic mix of live  music, spoken word, theatre, storytelling, children’s entertainment, circus, wellness activities alongside a delicious food market. 

The 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 balanced 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 is 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.
