The Autism Society Inland Empire's Autism Family Festival & Acceptance Walk is the Inland Empire’s largest Autism event for resources in the community. Our goal is to empower families with knowledge as well as highlight some of the abilities of children and adults with autism. Our annual walk also raises awareness and much needed funds to provide vital programs and services to our autism families. All - 100% of funds raised through the Walk goes directly back into the organization to help provide resources and support to our autism community.

The Walk will feature a 5K Walk/Race and Kid's Zone filled with fun for the whole family, including inflatable attractions, crafts, characters, food trucks, vendor booths for Autism Awareness merchandise, a Resource Fair and more! The event also features “The Marketplace”- an opportunity for young people with Autism to practice owning their own business in a safe environment.

Join us for an amazing day of community that will improve the lives of children & adults with autism. Register your family, donate, volunteer, or sponsor the Walk today!  Registration for the Walk starts at only $15. Children and individuals with Autism are FREE!

We hope to see you there!
