For the fourth year in a row, The All Abilities Festival Pool Party is returning to Murray Bridge this February for another day of fun and inclusivity for people living with disabilities.

On Wednesday, February 26th, the festival will once again take over the Murray Bridge Swimming Centre, bringing swimming competitions, pool and lawn games, live music, dancing, and a variety of inclusive sports for people to try out. It’s shaping up to be an exciting event that continues to grow each year, attracting visitors from across South Australia.

Hosted by disability support provider Community Living Australia (CLA) in partnership with the Rural City of Murray Bridge Council and Anytime Fitness Murray Bridge, the festival is designed to be as accessible as possible. The venue will have dedicated drop-off zones, ramps for easy access, fully accessible facilities, and even a quiet zone for those who need it.

Every activity is crafted to encourage participation, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and included.

Mark Kulinski, Chief Executive of CLA, says the event has become a highlight of the “Murraylands” calendar.

“We are proud of the community that All Abilities Festival continues to attract each year and
in 2025 we are excited for more organisations joining in and people travelling from across
South Australia not wanting to miss out”.

He added, “The festival is quite simply for everyone, regardless of skill levels or abilities. Everyone is
welcome and celebrated”.

The All Abilities Festival is open to people aged 16 and over who are living with a disability. Tickets are available now for just $15, with support workers of paid attendees admitted free of charge.

Each ticket includes a gift bag and lunch pack, ensuring attendees have everything they need to enjoy the day. Tickets are limited, so don’t miss out on this fantastic day of fun, sports, and community.
