About the Get Active Calendar
Adaptive and inclusive sports, recreation, fitness, arts, and community events for people with disabilities across Chicago — including wheelchair basketball and football, adaptive cycling, track and field, swimming, adaptive scuba diving, and accessible theatre (ASL-interpreted, audio-described, and open-captioned performances).
Most events welcome people with physical disabilities and visual impairments along with their families, friends, sighted guides, and volunteers. Many events are free; each listing links to full details and registration.
Events are aggregated from trusted partners including GLASA (Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association), Access Living, Dare2tri, Diveheart, WDSRA, NSSRA, and the Cultural Access Collaborative.
Across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs (Chicagoland), with some virtual and online options and occasional national adaptive-sports camps and trips.
The calendar syncs automatically every month and can be refreshed at any time, so the list of upcoming adaptive and disability events stays current.
