The Big Umbrella Festival centers our audiences by sharing unique approaches to multi-sensory, interactive, and engaging artistic experiences, designed with and for neurodiverse audiences. This summer, the celebrated festival returns as a free day-long campus takeover full of relaxed spaces with multi-sensory experiences, performances, installations, and workshops specifically welcoming neurodivergent audiences and their families. You and your family have access to a full roster of programming, with the ability to drop-in throughout the day, experiencing as much or as little as you’d like.
