Formally known as Inclusive Knights, Exceptional Knights offers the same safe and welcoming place for people who are looking for ways to access live music and may not normally be able to do so. While designed for young people, this concert is for all audiences. Support will be offered for members of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities, patrons on the autism spectrum, patrons with cognitive disabilities, family members and the Central Florida community at large. Spend “A Day at the Parks” with the UCF Concert Band as they present an entertaining musical program, with music education students serving as guides to the experience. The musicians and staff understand that people may need to get up, move about or leave during the performance. Balloons, visual representations and opportunities to move will be provided to support the enjoyment of music.

Patrons are encouraged to bring hearing protection, fidget toys, manipulatives, cushions and support objects to the concert. This program is open to all members of the community to experience and enjoy.

UCF Celebrates the Arts 2026
March 31-April 12, 2026 | arts.ucf.edu/celebrates

Experience the innovative spirit of UCF through creative presentations that push the boundaries of traditional art forms.

Year-round on the UCF campus, students are immersed in the technology, theory, design, performance, and practical application required for them to be the next generation of creative leaders. Every spring, they converge at Dr. Phillips Center for a two-week cultural extravaganza, allowing our community to enjoy performances, exhibitions, presentations and interactive experiences. With a focus on accessibility, affordability, partnership, and diverse offerings, UCF Celebrates the Arts 2026, running March 30-April 12, is a unique opportunity to experience the creative side of UCF.
