Celebrating Inclusion for All Abilities
The Inclusion Festival from July 15
through 17, 2022 at Kempton Fairgrounds, in Kempton, offers a unique, immersive and
fully inclusive experience using music and recreation to normalize disability
and strengthen unity among diverse populations. All donations benefit the
nonprofit Accessible Festivals, dedicated to making communities stronger by
ensuring music and recreation is accessible to all abilities.
With sensory-friendly live music, a
wide variety of educational and recreational workshops, camping, collaborative
art, relaxation areas, a community resource fair and more, are all presented in
an environment designed to be accessible for all; the festival also includes
virtual components to increase accessibility for those unable to attend the
live event.
This year’s lineup includes The
Mantras, a rock band with global influences; Yam Yam, a blend of jazz, jam,
funk and soul from Harrisburg, award-winning blind recording artist and
advocate Lachi; funky Philadelphia brass band Snacktime, featuring disabled
musician Ryan Gilfillian; and many more.
Adult admission is $45/day or
$80/weekend (plus online ticket purchase fees). Admission is free for children
