🎪 Buddy Big Top Carnival is here — our next Inclusive Playdate!

Step right up to a carnival experience intentionally designed so every child can participate — no exceptions, no asterisks.

Whether your child is joining the fun for the first time, uses adaptive equipment, prefers a quieter space, or just wants a joy-filled day outside — Buddy Big Top was built for them. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed with your child in mind.

📅 Saturday, May 9th | 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Braelynn’s Way at Bessie Estell Park
🎢 FREE Entry

✨ What’s waiting at the carnival:

🎡 Inclusive carnival activities for all abilities
🍿 Food & drinks
📚 Parent Resource Fair
🤝 Buddy system matches that spark real friendship and connection across all abilities
♿ Adaptive accommodations — all abilities and all equipment welcome

This experience is designed for children with and without disabilities to come together — because inclusion isn’t just about access, it’s about connection. Every child plays a role in creating the kind of community we want to see.

For families who are used to wondering “Will this work for my child?” — this is a space where the answer is already yes.

We’re also looking for volunteers to help bring this experience to life — from supporting buddy groups to assisting with activities and event flow. If you’re interested in being part of what makes this day possible, we’d love to have you involved.

Visit thewildfloweralliance.org to learn more. We can’t wait to see you May 9th! 🎢
