The Union County Board of County Commissioners invites residents with disabilities and special needs, friends, and families to attend the 2025 Summer Fair for Disabilities and Special Needs. The event will take place on Sunday, July 27th, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Warinanco Sports Center, located at 1 Park Drive in Roselle.
“Our inclusive summer fairs are always fun-filled, joyful celebrations that bring our community together to relax, connect, and make lasting memories in a welcoming space,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Lourdes M. Leon. “This year’s fair is especially meaningful as we mark 35 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. It’s a time to honor the voices, experiences, and advocacy of our residents with disabilities, who have shaped Union County into a stronger, more inclusive place for all. I hope to see you there!”
July is Disability Pride Month, a national observance that celebrates the achievements, strength, and diversity of people with disabilities. This year’s observance also commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a groundbreaking civil rights law passed in 1990 to prohibit discrimination and expand access across all areas of public life.
“Our work to expand inclusive programming is personal to me and to so many families across Union County,” said Commissioner Sergio Granados, Liaison to the Human Services Advisory Council. “This fair is more than a celebration—it’s a demonstration of our commitment to equity and access. Through our Office for Persons with Disabilities and Special Needs, we’re not just planning events, we’re building a culture of belonging where everyone has the opportunity to participate fully in community life.”
The Summer Fair will feature a wide range of attractions for all ages and abilities, including carnival-style games, inflatables, face painting, a photo booth, and a petting zoo. Light refreshments will be available at designated stations throughout the venue.
The event is one of several initiatives led by the Union County Office for Persons with Disabilities and Special Needs, under the Division of Individual and Family Support Services of the Union County Department of Human Services. The Union County Office for Persons with Disabilities and Special Needs offers year-round programming designed to empower, support, and engage individuals and families through accessible recreation, education, and advocacy.
Admission to the 2025 Inclusive Summer Fair is free, but registration is required. To register online, please visit ucnj.org/opdsn-reg.
