This day is more than a celebration, it’s a reminder of the importance of creating communities where everyone belongs, is valued, and can participate fully. By celebrating together, we build understanding, break down barriers, and honour the strengths and contributions of disabled people in our community.

Fun and activities for disabled people, allies, tangata whaikaha Māori, whānau, and aiga everyone is welcome. Come along to connect, participate, and celebrate what makes our community unique.

Let’s share laughter, stories, and the spirit of inclusion because together, we are stronger.
