Sensory-Friendly Hour: 10:00-11:00 am
In an effort to embrace and welcome neurodiverse members of our community, the Nativity Fall Festival will host a sensory friendly hour of festival fun from 10:00–11:00 am where activities will be provided free of charge. During this hour, families are invited to attend the event and enjoy carnival games, face painting, the adventure zone and more – all at your own pace and with a smaller crowd. To end the hour, we invite you to enjoy a brief performance by dancers from Virginia Ballet Company and School at 10:50 am in the Father Martin Center. We hope that everyone will feel welcome to stay and enjoy additional performances, food, and fun throughout the day from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm.
