The Purple Parade 2026

What is The Purple Parade?

The Purple Parade is a unifying national platform to promote awareness and celebrate abilities of Persons with Disabilities. The Purple Parade movement seeks to ensure that Persons with Disabilities are included in the main chapter of Singapore’s growth and have equal access to education, employment, transport and social networks.

The Purple Parade features Campaigns, Carnivals, Concerts, Contingents, and Conversations. More information on the Purple Parade at purpleparade.sg.

Accessibility Activation

Join us at the Accessibility Activation on Friday 16 October at UTown from 11:00AM to 3:00PM.
