#Ability Fest

The beautiful people of @abilityfest 💙 Together, a community of absolute legends came together to show that everyone deserves live music no matter your difference - and raised over $400,000 for the @dylanalcottfoundation in the process. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to absolutely everyone involved xx #abilityfest

POV: you go to one of the most accessible and inclusive music festivals in the world 🌎 What a day at @abilityfest 🪩 Tom and his amazing carers loved every single minute. From the music, to the atmosphere, to the people, it was one of those days you don’t forget. A highlight? Seeing @djcoopersmith absolutely bringing the energy 🔥 And meeting @dylanalcott 🙌 But more than anything, it was part of being in a space that felt genuinely inclusive. A place where everyone could show up and enjoy the music and experience and be part of something bigger. We are already counting down to the next one 🥳 #abilityfest #festival

In the middle of the noise, music and epic fun of Ability Fest, we got to pause for a second and give Johnny something life changing. It was pure shock, joy and a moment none of us will ever forget! Johnny headed in to Rove HQ to script up his custom 3D printed wheelchair with Bryce, the best in the game. He toured the factory and saw exactly how and where his chair is going to be made. This is why we do what we do! Massive shout out to the incredible people who made this happen @rovewheelchairs @dylanalcottfoundation @dylanalcott @abilityfest @enjoyyourlegs @johnnyykonings @charlieegordon @geesaggers

Reminiscing on last weekend at @abilityfest with our proud partners @cerave_aunz. CeraVe supported the @dylanalcottfoundation with free skincare samples and hydrating icypoles for all festival-goers, helping us raise more donations to support young Australians living with disability. Lucky to have them in our corner!! 👊🏼 🫧🚀 #abilityfest #cerave #skincareforall Video description in comments

What a day at Ability Fest! 💙 From adaptive sports and inclusive activities to live music and community connections, this year’s event was a powerful reminder of what it means to create spaces where everyone belongs. We loved seeing participants of all abilities come together, try something new, and celebrate each other’s strengths. Thank you to our partners, volunteers, and families who made this event so special—we couldn’t do it without you. Already looking forward to next year! 🙌 #AbilityFest #InclusiveCommunity #ParksAndRec #StrongerTogether #AccessibilityForAll

Completely and utterly life changing 🥹 I don’t actually own my current chair due to the funding situation we found ourselves in, whilst grateful to have a loan, Charlie was asked to return it when I passed away. I was under the impression we were at Ability Fest to shoot content, turns out it was a facade for this epic surprise. I can’t fathom the massive amount of scheming and organisation required to pull this off✨🙈 To not only have a chair that I own but one that’s fully custom and weighs closer to 7kg rather than 16kg is quite simply life changing and shoulder saving. Overwhelmed with gratitude and thankful to @rovewheelchairs @dylanalcott @dylanalcottfoundation @abilityfest for the best SURPRISE! A special mention to my beautiful fiancé who has had to keep this a secret, discretely got me to the right place at the right time and continues to make everything possible. You’re the BEST! ❤️‍🔥 THANK YOU 😁

Went to Ability Fest on Saturday thinking I was there to film content… turns out they had something else in mind. Massive thank you to everyone who’s supported me getting here, it means the world ❤️ Incredibly grateful to the Dylan Alcott Foundation for the opportunity. Feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to make the most of it 🙏🐐

Music has always been my life. I feel it through every vibration, every beat, every lyric. Walking into @abilityfest was something truly special. Not only could I feel the music through haptic vests, but I could also fully experience it through Auslan interpreters - making every moment accessible, inclusive, and powerful. This is what live music should feel like. Accessible. Shared. For everyone. 💜

There are festivals… and then there’s Ability Fest Melbourne. I walked in expecting good music, good vibes… but I left with a full heart. This wasn’t just about having fun — it was about inclusion, accessibility, and creating a space where everyone belongs. As a mum, this hit me deeply. Because THIS is the kind of world I want my kids to grow up in — one where no one is left out, no one is overlooked, and everyone gets to experience joy equally. @abilityfest @dylanalcottfoundation thank you for creating bit more love. The world we live in now really needs it @untitledgroupau - I’m forever grateful for all this incredible opportunities 🥺🙏
