Accessible Festivals, a nonprofit dedicated to improving accessibility at music and recreational festivals, has launched a ticket grant program that’s giving away free access to some of the biggest festivals in the country, including Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Stagecoach, Electric Daisy Carnival and many more.

The Dan Grover Memorial Ticket Grant Program will provide a limited number of complimentary festival passes to people with disabilities and their companions. All the festivals participating in the program, including two dozen events this fall, have well-established accessibility compliance programs.

Accessible Festivals was founded by Austin Whitney, a wheelchair user whose experiences attending Coachella and other music festivals he credits with helping him manage anxiety and depression following his spinal cord injury.  “I didn’t know if I would ever be able to be happy again. I went to my first music festival, however, six months after my car accident, and it was at that place that I had my first genuine smile,” said Whitney.

Whitney started Accessible Festivals to help improve the festival experience for wheelchair users and people with a variety of disabilities, and the organization now works with some of the country’s largest event promoters to improve their access and accommodations. The ticket grant program is intended to honor Dan Grover, a wheelchair user with muscular dystrophy who helped pioneer access programs for many live music events.
