Mozilla’s annual, hands-on festival (affectionately known as [MozFest](https://mozillafestival.org/about)) is dedicated to forging the future of the open Web. It’s where passionate technologists, educators and creators unite to hack on innovative solutions for the Web’s most pressing issues.

Last year, we made [giant leaps to make our festival more accessible](https://medium.com/mozilla-festival/accessibility-at-mozfest-606c3ad20c04) to more people.
