Disability Pride Lehigh Valley is a celebration of the disability community showcasing art, live music, special guests, resource tables, food trucks, and games for all ages. All are welcome to this free-admission event! 

This event is presented by the Lehigh Valley Arts & Cultural Alliance in partnership with Disability Pride PA. The Lehigh Valley Arts & Cultural Alliance centers accessibility as a core component of its mission, and is committed to fostering a culture of access and inclusivity among Lehigh Valley artists, art educators, arts supporters, and arts & cultural venues. We work to address the needs of underserved populations for whom participation in the arts may not be economically, historically, or otherwise available. Disability Pride PA is an organization that promotes visibility, cultivates pride, and advocates for an inclusive world for those with disabilities. They are dedicated to serving every disability community and ensure that their practices are informed by the voices of those they serve.
