DisFestival 2026

From November 25 to December 8, 2026, DisFestival returns to Turin for its third edition, organized by CPD – Consulta per le Persone in Difficoltà ODV ETS to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3. A citywide festival bringing together a wide range of events, talks, performances and activities open to everyone (in Italian language), with the aim of promoting a culture of inclusion and equal opportunities. DisFestival was created to give the prefix “DIS” a positive meaning: to DISmantle stereotypes, DISrupt prejudices and break down barriers, both cultural and social, that continue to affect the lives of people with disabilities. The festival aims to bring disability into popular culture, using engaging formats, experiences and creative approaches to reach diverse audiences and place inclusion at the heart of the city's cultural and social life. The program will bring together people with disabilities, activists, representatives from businesses and nonprofit organizations, figures from the cultural and entertainment sectors, associations, students and families. A festival to connect, share perspectives and inspire change, because inclusion concerns everyone! Events will include measures and services to promote accessibility and participation, such as live captioning and Italian Sign Language (LIS) interpretation, where provided.
