Upcoming Community Events

All are invited to the Disability Pride Celebrations in Kenai and Anchorage to honor the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These fun, inclusive events honor the diverse talents and contributions of people who experience disabilities in our communities. The celebrations are part of Alaska’s statewide Disability Pride festivities, all about promoting awareness, accessibility, and joy for everyone.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed by Congress on July 26, 1990, establishing America’s commitment to end discrimination against people with disabilities. Disability Pride means accepting and honoring each person's uniqueness and seeing disability as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity. Alaska’s Disability Pride celebrations hope to bring this message to all our Alaskan friends and neighbors, and to raise awareness of the significance of the ADA.

Expect iconic anthems, singalongs, and a room full of instant besties singing every word like it’s opening night of the Eras Tour. No explanation, just reputation. No microphones, no judgment. Just pure mob-singing magic, champagne clinks, and a brunch buffet that never goes out of style.

So make the friendship bracelets, warm up your vocal cords, gather your backup singers. Whether you’re feeling 22 or ready to shake it off, get ready to sing like you’re Miss Americana!

You're invited to our upcoming Exercise Your Right to Vote (and Dance Party!) event.

People with disabilities, their families, supporters, and community members are all welcome. Attendees will learn more about voting in a fun, welcoming environment, enjoy a light dinner, and celebrate with a dance party.

Celebrate the artistic talents of people with disabilities at Disability Expo Day at the Alaska State Fair!

Visit the Shining Abilities Craft Fair, where you can buy products made by talented creators with disabilities, and discover a variety of resources through information booths, a calm sensory area, and interactive sensory activities. Connect with agencies, community organizations, and family supports to obtain disability-related information.

If you or someone you support would like to attend the Disability Expo, visit the NEW events building (purple gate area) on August 24 from 11am – 4:30pm and help support the artist entrepreneurs and disability advocates, and get information about community resources and opportunities.

Building on the momentum of past events, the conference will once again bring together partners from across Alaska to share knowledge, explore innovative practices, and build partnerships in support of Trust beneficiaries. Attendees can expect engaging sessions, meaningful dialogue, and opportunities to connect around solutions that improve access, outcomes, and quality of life for Alaskans served by the mental health and disability care system.
