✨ We’re at the Atomic Fall Festival today! ✨

Xander's Place is here in City of Oak Ridge Government hosting a Sensory Space, and we’ll be here all day! 💙

Festivals are FUN, but we also know the crowds, sounds, excitement, and activity can sometimes feel like a lot. That’s why we’re here.

Our Sensory Space is a soft place to land if you or your child:

💙 Feel overwhelmed
💙 Need a break from the crowd
💙 Need a quiet place to reset and regulate
💙 Just need a few minutes before jumping back into the fun

Take a break. Reset. Breathe. And when you’re ready, head right back out and enjoy the festival. 🫶

Come find Xander’s Place and say hi! We’re so excited to be part of making community events more accessible and inclusive for everyone. 💙♾️
