Here is our website about Peace in the Park: http://www.peaceintheparksf.org/
Peace in the Park is a free annual festival that promotes peace and wellbeing within the community, in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. In its fifth year, the festival unites world-renowned peace leaders, yogis, wellness scientists and researchers, meditation and mindfulness teachers with celebrated performers and artists to share the art and science of well-being with the community in a fun, festive, family-friendly environment.
Our goal is to facilitate positive change on both global and personal levels, and empower youth with tools, tips and techniques to cultivate emotional resilience. Peace in the Park hopes to raise awareness and encourage like minded people to engage in this movement. Since 2013, the festival’s attendance has doubled in size each year and has spread to three other cities. We are expecting 10,000 people in 2017.
