The Autism Awareness Festival, held on the last Saturday in April at Dayspring Presbyterian Church in Forsyth, GA. is a day of promoting community awareness, inclusion, and education about disability, while providing a place to foster friendships and show families facing developmental disability love and support. The festival includes a resource/craft fair, kids play area, 5K trail race, family fun run, local and professional entertainment, and food vendors.
The opening celebration for the "Embracing Possibility" exhibit will be held at the Tubman Museum in Macon, Georgia.
The exhibit aims to provide purpose and set goals by redefining how people with disabilities are seen in society and showcases courage, creativity, and the historic contributions made by people with intellectual disabilities and their allies. This exhibit highlights the rich history of disability justice in Georgia and beyond, inviting visitors to explore the strength and potential of individuals with intellectual disabilities, their families, and communities. Each experience reveals a unique source of power, encourages creative and courageous action, and leaves visitors transformed by a new understanding of what's possible.
The exhibit runs from May 2025 through June 2026 at the Tubman African American Museum, 310 Cherry St, Macon, GA 31201.
