Festival at Bel Air
Starting Wednesday, October 2nd, we invite you to take a step in the right direction by joining Festival at Bel Air in spreading awareness on mental health among Generation Z during Walktober. We’re taking Maryland’s official exercise and using it to not only benefit from physical activity, but also shed light on the rise of depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses affecting our youth. Stride with us every Wednesday as we aim to reach our community goal of 3,000 miles and make a change in our community.
Walks are held from 7am-10am and are led by a Festival at Bel Air merchant or another volunteer guide. Walk Maryland Day will consist of two sessions, 7am-10am and 3:30pm-6:30pm. Come stride with us and make a positive change in our community.
