Holiday Experiences for All

All Announcements
The photo captures a young child in profile, gazing at a wall of glowing, golden fairy lights. The child is wearing a gray knitted beanie and a puffy brown jacket, creating a cozy, wintery feel. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the warm, twinkling lights that create a festive and magical atmosphere. The child’s expression appears curious and enchanted, adding a sense of wonder to the scene.

Winter has officially come, but perhaps it’s been difficult to get into the holiday mood with the lack of snow. Fort Wayne holds a multitude of holiday events throughout the winter season every year. From holiday markets to light shows and indoor performances, this small Midwestern city cherishes the holiday spirit. Below, you will find a variety of Fort Wayne (or near) holiday events that are accessible to the disabled community.
