Lincoln Center believes the arts are for everyone! On September 16–18, we welcome young audiences with autism and other developmental disabilities and their families to our free weekend of programming at Big Umbrella Festival. Launched in 2018, the Big Umbrella Festival centers audiences with autism and other developmental disabilities by sharing unique approaches to sensory-based, interactive, and intimate artistic experiences to meet audiences exactly as they are. This three-day, campus-wide festival features performances, installations, workshops, and online content designed with and for neurodiverse audiences. This year's festival is both indoors and outdoors; families are invited to choose from four timed slots on Saturday and Sunday, plus a Friday night session dedicated to teens and young adults. Admission is free!
