About this Event
The Autism Community Store is proud to announce its 14th year of the annual Autism Resource Fair, Colorado’s largest and most comprehensive event dedicated to supporting individuals on the spectrum and their families. Taking place on Sunday, May 17, 2026, this beloved tradition transforms the Autism Community Store into a vibrant hub of support, connection, and celebration.
A Community Event Designed for Real Life Needs
Designed to combat the isolation often felt by families and individuals navigating Autism Spectrum Disorder, the fair serves as a "No Sorry Zone." This judgment-free environment allows individuals of all abilities to be themselves while connecting with local service providers and advocacy organizations.
“Nowhere else do so many families and individuals on the spectrum come together with the sole purpose of gathering resources and connecting with providers,” says the event organizing team. “It is the one day every year where families can learn, laugh, and feel truly part of a supportive, inclusive community.”
