🐝 Bee a Friend Festival & Parade is a family-centered community event celebrating kindness, inclusion, and being a good friend.
Join us for a Best Friends Parade, Sensory Friendly Activities, a thoughtfully curated Market featuring vendors who support the autism community through resources and lived experience, First Responder Trucks, Musical Performances (Nicole Gray Music), and a Sensory-Friendly Indoor Pavilion designed for calm breaks and quiet time.
🎟️ Raffles will be held throughout the day, and all sponsorships benefit Logan’s Landing Project and our mission to help make play and travel more accessible for all families.
👯 The Best Friends Parade will begin at Noon!
Decorate your parade group as your favorite friends (costumes encouraged, never required!)
Registering for the event (It's free) helps us to better understand attendance, plan spacing, and thoughtfully prepare for sensory needs.
