Two courts will feature a Vendor Village with more than 40 community partners, including adaptive sports organizations, health providers, disability nonprofits, and equipment manufacturers. A dedicated vendor demonstration court will host additional presentations throughout the day.
The festival is held in conjunction with the River City Classic Wheelchair Basketball Tournament, scheduled for Jan. 31–Feb. 1, 2026, at the Henrico Sports & Events Center.
