DeaFestival is the state’s only day-long celebration of deaf and hard of hearing art, language and culture. More than 50 visual and performing artists will combine to make DeaFestival 2016 a community, family-friendly day to remember. “You’ve Always Had the Power Within You” is the theme of the 12th biennial Festival, hosted by the Knowledge Center on Deafness and the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing for the past 20 years. The theme will be woven through the three performance programs beginning with the Children’s Program, featuring interactive storytelling, followed by Spotlights, a showcase for theatrical performers, dancers and comedians. Jam Tent will round out the day with the top deaf and hard of hearing hip hop and rock ‘n’ roll musicians in the nation.
