Thank you for attending the Fraser Festival, presented by Central Roofing Company!

The Fraser Festival, presented by Central Roofing Company, was on Saturday, May 20, at the Saint Paul RiverCentre in downtown St. Paul. The free event and fundraiser was reimagined with new activities and experiences in eight zones that engaged the body’s senses. It was a day of joy, freedom, and inclusion for people and families with autism and disabilities in the community.

Individuals with autism often experience sensory processing differences that cause them to react with extreme discomfort to loud noises, bright lights, strong smells, crowds, and other stimuli, making attending community events challenging. The Fraser Festival, presented by Central Roofing Company, was an inclusive space for the community, with eight zones to engage each of the body’s senses in a sensory-friendly way.

The one-of-a-kind, sensory-friendly festival raised funds for individuals and families impacted by autism. These funds support:

  • Autism programs and services for your family, neighbors, friends, and coworkers
  • Increased inclusion in the community
  • A growing number of children, adults, and families who are diagnosed with autism each year
  • The critical need for services outside the Twin Cities
  • Services delivered closer to home for all Minnesotans

Thank you to all that attended the Fraser Festival, presented by Central Roofing and helped make it a day of fun and inclusion for all our community. And a big shout-out to all the vendors, sponsors, and volunteers who made this day truly unforgettable! Because of you, everyone is included.
