About this Event

Join us for a one-of-a-kind wellness event that combines live theater, creativity, and mental health awareness in an engaging and sensory-friendly environment!


The Don't Worry Willy Experience is an immersive event featuring a live performance of Don't Worry Willy: The Musical followed by an interactive Self-Care Sensory Experience designed as a field trip experience for children, families, educators, homeschoolers, and community members.


From 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM, guests will enjoy an inspiring musical adventure that teaches valuable lessons about emotional wellness, resilience, self-care, and friendship. Following the 1-hour performance, attendees will be invited to explore hands-on wellness stations featuring creative arts, journaling, sensory activities, mindfulness exercises, and interactive experiences designed to support social-emotional learning and mental health.


This event is intentionally designed to be welcoming and inclusive for all families, including neurodivergent children, military-connected families, caregivers, educators, and mental health advocates. Vendors focused on mental health and self-care are needed and welcome. Whether you're looking for a family-friendly activity, a sensory-friendly event, a field trip opportunity for your students, or meaningful tools to support emotional wellness, the Don't Worry Willy Experience offers something for everyone.
