Lincoln Center Big Umbrella Festival

Every year, the Big Umbrella Festival welcomes kids, teens, and adults for a dynamic series of programming, designed with and for neurodiverse audiences.

The Big Umbrella Festival centers our audiences by sharing unique approaches to multi-sensory, interactive, and engaging artistic experiences.

From April 10–26, 2026, the celebrated festival returns for a multi-week series of performances, workshops, relaxed spaces, and interactive artistic experiences specifically welcoming neurodivergent audiences and their families. Audiences can design their own festival by booking tickets to individual events throughout April 10 - 26!
