Disability Sport & Recreation Festival
Our annual celebration of physically active lifestyles for people with disability.
🚨 Cancelled: 2024 DSR Festival 🚨
It’s with great disappointment that we announce the cancellation of this Friday’s 6th VDSR Festival 2024.
​
Due to unexpected construction delays at the festival site, we’re unable to ensure a safe, accessible, and enjoyable event for everyone. Despite exploring all alternatives, the site conditions left us no choice but to make this tough decision.
​
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and share in your disappointment.
Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to support and prepare for this event.
We’re committed to returning in 2025 with an even bigger and better festival!
