Accessible+

Amplifying the intersectionality of BIPOC people with disabilities – creating a path through hands-on experience to be a part of a new festival future.

The Accessible+'s Mission

Accessible+ is an immersion opportunity for BIPOC people with disabilities to experience the Coachella Festival, build community and come together to discuss festival accessibility and learn about professional opportunities in the live event industry. We are the first of our kind, as we are led by experts and leaders who are a part of the disabled BIPOC community. Our leaders are committed to ensuring the disabled BIPOC community is both represented by, and in charge of their own narratives.

Our mission is to amplify the intersectionality of BIPOC people with disabilities by providing an opportunity to participate in the Coachella Festival experience. Harnessing the passion of individuals who are often marginalized, we will create a path of discovery and an invitation to be a part of the larger festival cultures.

We will provide an immersion opportunity for participants with disabilities to camp, partake and learn through a hands-on experience on what it means and takes to be a part of the festival, with most expenses paid. We aim to create a safe environment and foster community building with BIPOC disabled communities inside Coachella. The A+ program includes:

Participants are invited to the Festival and will be provided with a safe space to network and engage with other participants as well as opportunities to engage with festival leaders and learn about the many departments that produce the Festival.
Exclusive programming that showcases the history of the Coachella Festival and it’s operations. Through specialized programming, participants gain professional insights, participate in career exploration opportunities, and network with industry leaders.
The program will create a unique opportunity for our participants to learn about the different careers involved in live music events and paid opportunities to work festivals in the future.
VIP access to most of the activations on the festival grounds.
