Today is Liberty, a Disability Rights Festival held annually in Trafalgar Square. It is designed to be accessible to all people and celebrates the strides London has made in making the city available to the disabled. It is filled with music, dance, speeches, entertainment and food. Many of the performers are either disabled or deaf. Whether you are gathering today to celebrate at Liberty or not, this is the perfect day to celebrate how far England has come in making sure the disabled have equal opportunities. This is an especially great time for anyone who has friends, co-workers or family members with disabilities to celebrate their accomplishments. Of course, whenever there is a celebration, Chinese lanterns should be included so launch some for the Disability Rights Festival.

The Liberty London Disability Rights Festival has been held annually since 2003 and is one of the most outdoor festivals in London. The festival ensures it is accessible to everyone with special consideration for many disabilities including programmes printed in large type and Braille, audio headphones and signers. You don’t have to be disabled to enjoy the entertainment, though. Even though most of the entertainers are disabled, the music, dance, acrobatics, comedy and more is entertaining to everyone. There is even a children’s area so come out and bring the whole family. It is sure to be a great time and for a good cause. Admission is free. Afterward, send off a Chinese flying lantern in honour of the event.

Chinese lanterns such as traditional sky lanterns or coloured sky lanterns are the perfect way to add some fun to any event and the Liberty Disability Rights Festival in London is no exception. After the festivities are complete and you go home with the family, it is a great time to reflect on everything you saw. Each member of the family can relate their favourite part of the day and why it was their favourite then launch the sky lantern. Or, if you have someone in your family or someone you know who is disabled, you can discuss their accomplishments and launch a Chinese lantern in their honour.

It is a great day to celebrate the advancements made to make London, England and the rest of the world more accessible to those who have disabilities. Incorporating Chinese lanterns into the celebration only makes the occasion more festive and fun. Everyone can participate and you can have a great time while putting some time into discussing something important.

Also, keep in mind that Chinese flying lanterns from NightSkyLanterns are 100% biodegradable and completely free from wire so they are safe for the environment. They are easy to use and will create a stunning display in the night sky. If neighbours ask what you are celebrating, bring them in on the fun and everyone can enjoy the evening in celebration of the London Disabilities Rights festival, Liberty.
