Disability Pride
Kenai: July 18, 2026
Anchorage: July 25, 2026
July is Disability Pride Month
All are invited to the Disability Pride Celebrations in Kenai and Anchorage to honor the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These fun, inclusive events honor the diverse talents and contributions of people who experience disabilities in our communities. The celebrations are part of Alaska’s statewide Disability Pride festivities, all about promoting awareness, accessibility, and joy for everyone.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed by Congress on July 26, 1990, establishing America’s commitment to end discrimination against people with disabilities. Disability Pride means accepting and honoring each person's uniqueness and seeing disability as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity. Alaska’s Disability Pride celebrations hope to bring this message to all our Alaskan friends and neighbors, and to raise awareness of the significance of the ADA.
