So tell your family and friends to sign up and join us and show us their Autism Spirit in Bakersfield. We plan on having quite a celebration with media & community friends joining us to commemorate this special day and month!
At Beach Park on Oak Street and 21st we will have FREE admission for Autism families to join us with fun and games as well. Numerous food vendors will be available with goodies to purchase snacks or lunch. Boutique Vendors will have Autism items to sell. Families are allowed to bring their own chairs and blankets to enjoy the day.
