Fresh AF

AccessFest is a first-of-its-kind, open-to-all celebration of inclusion. Set in the heart of downtown Toronto, this one day festival is where accessibility meets culture, with a lineup that’s fresh AF, empowering, and exciting.

We’re transforming David Pecaut Square into a buzzing, barrier-free hub of activity. Think big stage energy, real conversations, immersive installations, and a community that knows how to show up.

Three people participate in a fireside chat panel on stage. Two panelists using power wheelchairs sit in front of banners that read 'AccessNow' and 'The Future is Smart, Built for Everyone.'

Unfiltered AF TALKS

Real conversations. Disability leaders, creatives, and changemakers get raw and unapologetic about topics that matter.

A group of people march outdoors on a sunny day, promoting inclusion and diversity. At the center, a smiling woman in a power wheelchair chats with another woman walking beside her in a pink sweater. Behind them, participants hold bright yellow and orange signs with messages like 'There is strength in diversity'. The group includes people with and without disabilities, creating a joyful and united atmosphere.

MapMission Tours

Teams hit the streets to explore accessibility across the city.

A young woman gazes at a tall, cylindrical bubble tube filled with glowing, floating orbs illuminated in vibrant shades of pink, purple, and orange. The surrounding space is dimly lit with a soothing blue hue, creating a calming, sensory-rich environment. Similar bubble tubes can be seen in the background, adding to the immersive experience.
