The event features music, movement, games, food, art, entertainment, STEM, play, gardening, imagination, and sports activities that engage people of all ages and abilities.
An event that welcomes everyone
The Fraser Festival, presented by Central Roofing Company, offers a calming space to take a break from the festivities to self-regulate, as well as a roaming Fraser Sensory Support team that can assist near the action. These accommodations ensure everyone in the community can enjoy the festivities.
Sensory differences are common in people with autism, ADHD, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, brain trauma, PTSD, and other disabilities. For individuals with sensory processing differences, loud noises, bright lights, strong smells, and crowds can be overwhelming.
Fraser is committed to keeping the festival free and accessible to all.
While attendance is free, the festival is supported by sponsors, event partners, individual donations, and sales of festival mascot plushies and Fraser sensory kits. Every dollar raised helps cover event costs and supports individuals with autism, neurodivergence, and disabilities in our community.
