GANAS Festival (2026-2027)

GANAS de Fiesta is an annual family-centered community event that brings joy, resources, and meaningful connections to children and families in the Eastern Coachella Valley. Designed as a safe and culturally responsive space, the event combines hands-on experiences—such as creative activities, interactive learning opportunities, and partnerships with community organizations—with access to health, education, and family support resources. GANAS de Fiesta also serves as a welcoming introduction to GANAS programs, including Padres con GANAS Academy and Sibs con GANAS, connecting families raising children with intellectual and developmental disabilities to ongoing support beyond the event. With attendance growing from over 400 participants in 2024 to 513 in 2025, GANAS de Fiesta continues to address barriers such as limited access to enrichment opportunities, transportation challenges, language barriers, and community concerns by creating a trusted environment where children are celebrated, families feel supported, and lasting connections begin.
