Disability Pride Fest
2024-07-20 11:00 - 16:00 | Logan High School, 1500 Ranger Dr, La Crosse, WI, 54601
Disability Pride Fest
In 2024, DAN will host the 3rd annual Disability Pride Fest to promote inclusion and highlight the value of people with disabilities to our community. Lots of people in our community are impacted by accessibility barriers and isolation. At Disability Pride Fest we will actively break down those barriers through socialization presentations, performances, a community art project, sports, children’s activities, and resource booths. Put simply, the event will celebrate disability culture.
There will be music, food, art, activities, fun, and resources. All activities will be as accessible as possible including ASL interpreting, accessible restrooms, plain language information, and a sensory break area.
Visit the Disability Action Network Facebook page for more information.
