Fairfield City Mayor Frank Carbone said he was proud that the City plays host to such an important and exciting youth event.
“Fairfield City is proudly a family city. Events that support our families, our young people and our diverse communities are very important to us,” Mayor Carbone said.
“Bring It On! has been entertaining and educating our young people for 17 years and I am proud to say that this year’s Festival is shaping up to be the biggest, brightest and most exciting event yet.
“I encourage young people from across Fairfield City and all of Sydney to come down, enjoy the entertainment, get covered in colour in the Rainbow Run and party afterwards with DJ Tigerlily at the Foam Party. This is an event you will not want to miss.”
The theme of this year’s event is mental health. Young people are less likely than any other age group to seek professional help for mental health concerns, yet a quarter of all young people aged 16-24 years will meet the criteria for a mental health disorder in a 12 month period. Bring It On! will tackle the stigma head on with a special film to be shown during the event.
A number of local service providers - including those in the field of mental health support – will be offering information and guidance to young people throughout the day.
Free transport will be provided between Fairfield, Cabramatta and Canley Vale rail stations and the Bring It On! Festival from 11.30am. The last bus from Fairfield station will leave at 5pm. The event is drug and alcohol-free.
