Whether you’re a changemaker, an ally, or simply curious, this is the place to explore what accessibility really looks like in action.
This free General Admission ticket gives you access to the main festival experience, including:

  • 🎤 Live performances, speakers, and entertainment
  • 🎨 Interactive art and sensory installations
  • 🧠 Workshops, panels, and community conversations
  • 🛍️ Local food vendors and festival merch
  • ♿ Accessibility-forward experiences and spaces
    Whether you're dropping by for a few hours or staying for the whole day, your RSVP helps us plan an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming event for all.

Cost: Free!

Access info:
The venue is wheelchair accessible and will include ASL interpretation, live captioning, accessible washrooms, a chill zone, sensory kits, and support volunteers on-site.

Let’s celebrate, activate, and advocate — together.
All are welcome!
