Autistic Pride Day 2023
Sunday, June 18th is Autistic Pride Day! Join us at 12:00pm for a sensory friendly event at Foley Square, celebrating and advocating for the autistic community!
There will be free food, speeches, poetry readings, and musical performances! We also plan to work with autistic artists and creatives to display their art, and give out free souvenirs like stim toys, bracelets, pins, and more!
This event is open to all! All of the speakers/performers/artists/organizers/etc. are autistic, but the event is open to the general public. Bring out your friends and family to this event!!
