Reminiscing with legend Cooper Smith ♥️
From DAF recipient to playing the Ability Fest main stage in 2023, to countless Australian and international gigs & festivals in between.
We loved having him back again to light up the main stage where it all began ⚡️

Ability Fest 2026 — a celebration of music, community and accessibility 🧡
This year felt more intimate, more connected, and full of the energy that makes Ability Fest so special. From the first set to the final moments, The Timber Yard became a haven to dance, connect, let go and be yourself.
To everyone who bought a ticket, showed up, supported and shared in the day, thank you. Every moment contributed to something bigger, helping the Dylan Alcott Foundation support young Australians with disability to pursue their goals and achieve their dreams.
�Until next time, Ability Fest x

Meet Bailey, an up and coming Aussie adaptive surfer 🌊
After a life-altering accident, Bailey discovered surfing and is now dedicated to progressing at a high performance competitive level in the sport he loves.
With support from our community, and a special shoutout to partners @athomecareaus , he's able to access essential equipment, coaching and development opportunities to continue his surfing journey.
We loved catching up with Bails and his team at the @adaptivesurfingprofessionals in Byron Bay to learn more about his professional surfing dreams.
Next stop on the AASP World Tour, Hawaii 🌺 Stay tuned for more coming soon 🤙🏻

Taking care of the dancefloor, in more ways than one 💙
Powered by our long-time partners @anz_au , who had patrons sorted with free @earprotect.festivals earplugs so we could stay on the dancefloor longer, spin-to-win giveaways, and donation terminals making it easy to give back.
Grateful for their ongoing support of the @dylanalcottfoundation , backing the dreams of young Australians with disability 🙌🏼
