The Big Umbrella Festival centers our audiences by sharing unique approaches to multi-sensory, interactive, and engaging artistic experiences. From April 10–26, 2026, the celebrated festival returns for a multi-week series of performances, workshops, relaxed spaces, and interactive artistic experiences specifically welcoming neurodivergent audiences and their families.
