YADSA Announces World Down Syndrome Day Celebration — Join Us in Downtown York!

The York Area Down Syndrome Association (YADSA) is thrilled to announce our upcoming World Down Syndrome Day Celebration, and we can’t wait to celebrate with our community!

On March 21, 2026, we will be taking over North George Street in York to transform it into a vibrant, joyful space full of music, activities, local vendors, and inclusive fun for all ages. This annual celebration honors individuals with Down syndrome, spreads awareness and advocacy, and brings families, friends, and neighbors together for a powerful day of connection and community pride.

What to Expect

• Live entertainment & music

• ️ Vendors and local small businesses

• Activities for kids and families

• Opportunities to learn, support, and get involved

• A street filled with joy, acceptance, and celebration of our loved ones with Down syndrome

World Down Syndrome Day is recognized globally on 3/21 to represent the third copy of the 21st chromosome. At YADSA, we’re proud to bring this important day to life right here in York with an event that celebrates inclusion, community, and the unique gifts of individuals with Down syndrome.
