, Broods and — and that’s not even scratching the surface of all the local and international talent that’ll be on offer.
The fully-accessible festival, launched by back in 2018, will be returning to Melbourne for one (hopefully) sunny day on Saturday, March 25.
Ability Fest will convert Birrarung Marr — on the banks of the Yarra — into a totally accessible venue fitted with viewing platforms, pathways, quiet zones, a designated sensory area, companion ticketing and AUSLAN interpreters.
Honestly, it’s bloody stunning to see an inclusive music festival which is *actually* accessible so that everyone can enjoy the exhilarating thrill of a live show. My compliments to the chef, with the cook being Dylan Alcott.
What’s even better is that Ability Fest will donate 100 per cent of its proceeds to the Dylan Alcott foundation, which helps young Aussies living with a physical or non-physical disability.
“Although my time as Australian of the Year is coming to an end, I’m excited to continue the important work of the foundation, helping grant recipients across the country by purchasing much-needed sporting equipment, providing scholarships at leading educational institutions and mentoring programs with industry trailblazers,” Alcott said.
