Bee a Friend

About the Event

🐝 Bee a Friend Festival & Parade is a kid-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, 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.

👯 Decorate your parade group as your favorite friendly duo (costumes encouraged, never required!)
🏆 Prizes for best costumes and decorations
🌈 Sensory-aware • Family-friendly • Everyone belongs
✨ Come for what works for your family and stay as long as you’d like
