This volunteer-run space provides a free sensory support area that promotes sensory and psychological safety at a high-sensory event, allowing attendees to regulate and return to the festival when they are ready.

The tent offers a shaded, low-stimulation environment with a variety of seating options, fans, sensory tools, and a low-light area. Hearing protection, fidgets, and water are available at no cost. We also provide information about local autism and neurodiversity resources and feature artwork created by local neurodivergent artists.

Our goal is to enhance accessibility and inclusion by providing a predictable space where autistic, neurodivergent, disabled, and sensory-sensitive attendees of all ages can regulate without having to leave the festival.
