The Big Umbrella Festival is back this April with an exciting event for neurodiverse audiences in NYC. This festival features performances and workshops that welcome a wide range of sensory needs. Many parts of the event are free or choose-what-you-pay, which keeps the event accessible to a larger audience.
Attendees will experience theater, music, dance, and interactive installations. It’s easy to bounce from one performance to the next, participate in hands-on activities, and experience this artistic event that prioritized accessibility and fun.
