Disability Pride Celebration
Anchorage: July 26, 2025, 12:00pm - 4:00pm
July is Disability Pride Month.
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. Disability Pride awareness events promote visibility and mainstream awareness of the positive pride felt by people with disabilities. Alaska’s Disability Pride Celebration hopes to bring this message to our Alaskan friends and neighbors, and to raise awareness of the significance of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
All are invited to the Disability Pride Celebrations in Anchorage—a fun, inclusive event that honors the diverse talents and contributions of people with disabilities in our community. The celebration is part of Alaska’s statewide Disability Pride festivities, and it’s all about promoting awareness, accessibility, and joy for everyone.
The volunteers coordinating the event represent people with physical/intellectual/developmental disabilities, behavioral health disorders, autism, Down syndrome, traumatic brain injury, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, and more.
