Callan Park Festival

The Utopia Research Institute’s Callan Park Festival is celebrating Mental Health on Saturday, 25th September 2010 by honouring mental health consumers, their carers, family, friends and the community that supports them.

The Festival will raise funding for the proposed Callan Park Community Centre, Family Clinic and Youth Club, and is expected to attract over 10,000 visitors and local supporters and of course attract mass media attention, including a live global video.

The Callan Park Festival will have three entertainment areas, kids programs, face painting, puppet shows, clowns, magicians & the Queen of the Fairies and her court, a farmers market and bargain hunters fair with food stalls, art exhibits and roving performers.

Over 700 youth volunteers (18 to 25 years old), are eager to use their knowledge and skills in a ‘hands on situation’ to spread the word about mental ill health and its prevention.
