A Night in Emerald City for Self-Advocates 18+
What to Expect
There’s no place like the dance floor—join us for a magical night in Emerald City!
We are so excited to be hosting our 9th Annual DSG Holiday Dance for self-advocates ages 18 and older. This year, adults will step into the world of Oz and eat a fantastic catered dinner, strike a pose in the photo booth, make new friends, and dance the night away.
Dates are welcome and invited! Plus ones are not required to have Down syndrome and may be a peer buddy, similarly aged sibling, boyfriend/girlfriend, or friend. Please note: all plus ones must be 18 years or older and must be registered to attend.
DSG staff and volunteers will be on-site throughout the evening to help facilitate the event and ensure a safe, inclusive, and welcoming experience for all attendees.
🪩 Registration opens October 26, 2026. Space is limited and registration is required. Registration closes Monday, November 30, 2026 (or until event is full).

Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the event are non-refundable due to commitments already made for food and supplies.
