The Big Blue Festival
Event description
The festival's central theme revolves around mental health and the healing potential of blue spaces, particularly water environments. Research has shown that spending time near or in water can have profound effects on mental well-being, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. The Big Blue Festival aims to harness this therapeutic potential to foster positive mental health experiences and promote mental wellness.
