Explore, Adapt, and Connect: The Maryland School for the Blind’s 3rd Annual See Beyond Festival Awaits!

Inclusive Sports: Experience beep baseball, blind soccer, and more. These accessible sports provide a fantastic opportunity for attendees to learn about and participate in adaptive athletic activities.
Culinary Delights: Local cuisine as food and beverage vendors.
Maker’s Market and Vendor Fair: Support local artisans and discover unique, handcrafted items.
Live Music: Live performances and new this year the first hour of the festival will be sensory-friendly, ensuring a comfortable experience for all attendees.

This year’s See Beyond Festival is made possible through the generous support of Presenting Sponsor Lewis Contractors, along with major sponsors Giant Landover, Marshall Craft Architecture, Maury Donnelly & Parr, Penney Design Group, and media sponsors Baltimore Fishbowl, Baltimore Banner, and WTMD/WYPR.
