In 2024, the festival attracted several thousand visitors. This number highlights its importance as a platform to strengthen bonds and drive participation among various groups. It’s more than just a day of fun; it’s a chance to reinforce the message of disability awareness and foster an inclusive community.

One of this year's key highlights is the partnership with CFDN, who will not only support event logistics but also sponsor some of the performances.
