About this Event

The Horizon: Joy, Healing, and Collective Wellness

Welcome to The Horizon — a new community experience honoring Mental Health Awareness Month and the historic legacy of Dorothea Dix’s contributions to mental health reform and humane care.

This free family-friendly event is intentionally being held at Dorothea Dix Park, a space deeply connected to North Carolina’s mental health history and transformation.

The Horizon will feature live music, interactive wellness experiences, movement and play activities, local vendors, community connection, and opportunities for reflection, healing, and collective wellness.

Held on the historic grounds of Dorothea Dix Park, this experience brings together individuals, families, and organizations in a welcoming environment designed to promote emotional well-being, joy, visibility, and meaningful community engagement.
