Registration Required for All Events
To help us plan welcoming, well-prepared events for our community, advance registration is required for all Common Ground Society events. Please reserve one ticket for every person attending, including participants, parents, caregivers, support staff, siblings, and other family members. Most events are free, and you do not need to bring a physical ticket with you—we simply need an accurate count of everyone attending. Important: You must select the number of tickets you need when registering. Submitting your name without selecting tickets does not reserve your spot, even if you receive an automated confirmation email. Many of our events have limited capacity, so if your plans change, please let us know as soon as possible at supportcoordinator@commongroundsociety.org. This may allow us to offer your spot to another family. Thank you for helping us plan responsibly, respect our community partners’ capacity limits, and continue creating spaces where everyone can connect and belong.
