An Event for Everyone
Are you ready to be part of the new Maryland School for the Blind tradition? The See Beyond Festival is a free, one-of-a-kind event that is open to the public hosted on our award-winning, campus. The event is filled with family-friendly fun to be had by all – including you! The 2023 See Beyond Festival will be even bigger and better than the last!
This isn’t just another spring festival. Our one-of-a-kind event will feature a day of ‘interactive experiences’ where participants will have the opportunity to try activities while wearing light-blocking eyeshades. Push your limits and challenge yourself in a new way!
At the See beyond Festival, all activities and challenges are free, thanks to our generous sponsors, and there is something for everyone. Try blind sports, including soccer, beep baseball, lacrosse, goalball, track, and relay races. Engage in friendly competitions with your family, friends, and co-workers. Test your taste buds at our blind taste test challenges. Play games and make brailed and sensory crafts. Enjoy our KidZone 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.”
