The ADA Sioux Falls Committee and the City of Sioux Falls Disability Awareness and Accessibility Review Board (DAARB) are excited to announce The ADA Festival: Strengthening Connections & Moving Forward Together. The milestone celebration being held on Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 5:00PM to 9:30PM looks to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the important day protections were guaranteed for people with disabilities with the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The celebration, first-of-its kind in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, will honor the deeply interwoven connections we all share with people with disabilities, will foster opportunities for greater understanding and will look to the future as a community of diverse perspectives and abilities. The festival will take place at the Levitt at the Falls and include vendors, interactive booths, activities, food trucks, and more. The celebration will culminate with performances by artists with disabilities throughout the evening and a Proclamation from Mayor Paul TenHaken.
