Join us for the fourth annual Disability Holiday Festival! The Festival will feature work created by disabled artists while celebrating the diversity of the holiday season in Toronto. Stop by to shop for arts and crafts made by local disabled artists, participate in multiple community-building events such as a free photo booth and a card-making station, listen to live music from disabled musicians, and enjoy food & drinks from community vendors to keep you warm and cozy!
The Disability Holiday Festival will allow disabled artists to showcase and sell their work in a fun and community-driven environment, while celebrating the holiday spirit. This family-friendly event will be a fun and festive opportunity for the community to come together, experience and engage in art, and enjoy the holiday season.
