Festival Participation

An Event for Everyone

Get ready to be part of a one-of-a-kind Maryland School for the Blind event—the See Beyond Festival! It’s an exciting free event open to the public on our award-winning campus. There’ll be plenty of family-friendly activities for everyone, and the 2023 See Beyond Festival is anticipated to be even bigger and better thank last year!

At the See Beyond Festival, all activities and challenges are free, thanks to our generous sponsors. Try everything without your sight. Participate in blind sports like soccer, beep baseball, lacrosse, goalball, and sprint track. Try your luck in blind taste test challenges. Play games and make brailed and sensory crafts.

Don’t miss out on the KidZone with free balloon animals, face painting, and accessible playground!

“That is such an interesting concept, to actually experience what it is like; to put the blindfold on and see what people who are blind go through.”
