This study investigates the accessibility barriers encountered by individuals with disabilities in participating in public events in Lithuania and explores integration measures aimed at improving inclusion. Drawing on comparative quantitative research conducted in 2021 and 2024 (N = 253 in 2024), the findings indicate a positive shift in perceptions of event accessibility, with the average rating increasing from 5.85 to 7.22. Despite these improvements, significant challenges persist, including physical, financial, and informational barriers that hinder full participation. The research highlights successful international practices, such as those implemented at EXPO 2020 Dubai and MCM London Comic Con, which encompass physical adaptations, sensory tools, accessible information, and emotional support measures. The study underscores the need for a holistic, multi-dimensional approach to accessibility that addresses both structural barriers and societal attitudes, thereby promoting greater inclusion and social integration of individuals with disabilities in public life.
