2019 abilitySTRONG Parade & AccessAbility Fest

Save to Favorites

AccessAbility fest is an annual program that creates a gateway to resources, opportunities and independence for individuals living with a disability in the San Antonio and surrounding communities. The festival is FREE and OPEN for the public to attend. This experience is for individuals of all abilities, including those with physical, developmental, sensory and/or mental health challenges!

abilitySTRONG Parade is San Antonio’s inaugural Disability Pride Celebration. This parade is a public expression of the belief that disability is a natural and beautiful part of human diversity in which people living with disabilities can take pride. Held on the streets of downtown San Antonio, where many parades have taken place, this event demonstrates our efforts to "develop a whole community of people with disabilities and allies who are proud to be who we are, who do not see ourselves as victims, who expect more from ourselves and those within our community, and who are committed to building an inclusive community that recognizes the dignity, humanity, and worth of all people."

Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older to volunteer without a supervising adult. Children, 12 and up are welcome to volunteer, but must be accompanied by an adult, 18 years of age or older.

Rain or shine. Water and snacks provided for volunteers. Food concessions will be available for purchase.
