Disabled and Proud Fest

Celebrate disability pride and community at the third annual Disabled and Proud Fest, happening Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 12 to 4 p.m. at Glass City Metropark. City of Toledo in partnership with Metroparks Toledo, welcomes everyone to join the fun at this event!

This year’s celebration is especially meaningful as it also marks the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the landmark civil rights law that continues to advance equity, accessibility, and inclusion for millions of Americans.

This year’s event highlights music, movement, and community pride, welcoming individuals of all abilities to share in the celebration. Free skate rentals, rock climbing passes, and frozen treats will be available while supplies last. Boccia games and a community art project will also be available for everyone to enjoy.
