Big Umbrella Festival

Every April, the Big Umbrella Festival welcomes kids, teens, and adults for a dynamic series of programming, designed with and for neurodiverse audiences. The Big Umbrella Festival centers our audiences by sharing unique approaches to multi-sensory, interactive, and engaging artistic experiences. This April, the celebrated festival returns for a multi-week series of performances, installations, workshops, relaxed spaces, and mutli-sensory experiences specifically welcoming neurodivergent audiences and their families. Audiences can design their own festival by booking tickets to individual events. Please check back soon for programming, dates, and ticketing information!
