The Inclusion Festival from July 15 through 17 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 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, 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 12 and under. Location: 83 Community Drive, Kempton. To donate, visit AccessibleFestivals.org/inclusion-festival.
