One of the patrons of last year's Shine Music Festival, hosted in Civic Center Park. This year, the festival will be held at ReelWorks Denver.Shine Music FestivalThe festival, which is designed to cater to the needs of disabled attendees, was supposed to launch in 2020, but Satterfield was forced to call an audible when the pandemic reared its ugly head. And the day before its opening in 2021, Denver experienced thefor several hours.
“The next day, one of our attendees sent us a message that said, ‘Thank you for giving me the gift of a music festival that I was able to navigate on my terms and my timing, and it was the first time in my life I've been able to do something like this without the need of a sighted person,'" says Satterfield."That made everything worth it.”, no longer burdened by plague or smog.
More than “just a music festival,” however, Shine endeavors to engage the disabled with live music in an immersive way, going above and beyond the minimal ADA requirements that often sequester people rather than include them. Satterfield cites her experience at a Snoop Dogg concert as the moment she realized that the live-music scene needed a change. As she mixed and mingled with her friends and other concert-goers, she noticed that the disabled were sectioned off in an ADA-compliant wing.
