QUESTIONS

What families ask most.

Not at all. Half of our spots are reserved for children without disabilities — siblings, friends, and neighbors are all welcome. Every child participates together in the same buddy groups and the same activities. No separate programming, no sidelines. Come as a family and make a day of it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​


Buddy groups — the small teams that move through activity stations together — are assigned live on event day. This lets us account for who has actually arrived and make real-time adjustments before activities begin.


▾

Yes — the Buddy Bowl is a full-family experience. The Parent Lounge, the resource fair, the food, and the community are all part of the afternoon. Your child's buddy and Inclusion Captain have the activities covered. You won't be managing — but staying inside the fair with your family is the whole point. You'll actually get to breathe.


▾

Zero cost. Admission is free. A boxed lunch is included for every attendee. There are no tickets, no wristband fees, and no purchases required at any point. This is The Wildflower Alliance's commitment — always. Our sponsors make this possible.
