Event Info
9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
The festival is a sensory-friendly event, created for people with sensory processing differences and the community. The Fraser Festival, presented by Central Roofing Company, is both a celebration of neurodiversity and a judgment-free zone for people of all ages, abilities, cultures and backgrounds to be themselves and have fun. And it’s free! Register today and get to the fun faster.
The festival features a silent disco, which is a sensory-friendly way to experience music by allowing people to control their volume and music type. The event also features games including mini golf, an obstacle course, and sticky soccer. Festival participants can pet therapy dogs, cats, bunnies and alpacas. For all the artists, there will be arts and crafts projects, along with a gardening activity. Even thrill seekers have a place here, with a rock climbing wall to scale!
To keep the event truly inclusive, the festival also offers accommodations including a calming space and Fraser Sensory Support volunteers for those with sensory differences. These individuals experience discomfort from sensory input like loud noises, bright lights, strong smells and crowds. Sensory differences are common for people with autism and disabilities. The accommodations ensure everyone in the community can enjoy the festivities.
Donations are welcome and help support individuals with autism and disabilities in our community.
