ACCESSIBILITY

Our festivals are committed to making the events accessible to everyone. The festival is held outdoors.  There are sometimes great distances between stages. There will be a special viewing area at the main stages for those with mobility limitations. An access center will be set up next to the info booth to assist at the event.  The Access Centers are staffed continuously by professionally trained staff who can answer all questions.

HOW DO I ACCESS THE VIEWING AREA(S)?
When you enter the festival grounds, visit the access center to obtain a wristband allowing access to the dedicated viewing area.  All passes to the festival are general admission or VIP, purchasing an accessible ticket is not necessary. The Accessible Viewing Areas are located in GA sections.
The wristband does NOT guarantee a spot in these areas and is to show Festival staff that the patron plus one companion is eligible to enter the accessible viewing areas or the Deaf and Hard of Hearing areas. The accessibility wristband is non-transferrable. Please note that the viewing areas have a limited capacity and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We cannot save or reserve seats or areas on the platform. Once it’s determined that an accessible viewing area is filled to capacity (including adequate aisle space for entering and exiting the area), the area will not be available for additional entry.  
Signage will be placed at the Festival identifying all viewing areas for patrons with mobility limitations and patrons who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing. Please visit the Access Center for a map of the festival grounds.
WHAT SERVICES DO YOU PROVIDE FOR DEAF/HARD OF HEARING PATRONS?

Patrons with mobility impairments or Deaf/Hard of Hearing patrons can request an accessibility wristband at the Access Center. This wristband is to show Festival staff that the patron plus ONE companion is eligible to enter the accessible viewing areas. The accessibility wristband is non-transferrable.

IF I AM A WHEELCHAIR USER, CAN I GET AROUND?
The Festival is wheelchair accessible but is a large venue with great distances between activities and attractions. It is outdoors and across streets and pathways. Some travel is over natural terrain and terrain designed for motor vehicles. If it should rain, there could be mud.
 
The Festival does not provide personal care, golf cart rides, or push services of any kind or wheelchairs for rent or loan. Wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, and three or four-wheeled scooters are allowed only for use by patrons with mobility disabilities. For safety reasons, requests to use any other power-driven mobility devices will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
 
Powered wheelchairs may also be charged at the Access Center. Patrons should bring all cords and accessories needed to charge their devices. Chargers must use a 110-volt, 20-amp circuit.
Accessible portable toilets are available at the ends of each bank of portable toilets throughout the festival venue.
 
Note: The second and third floors of the Reformatory are not wheelchair-accessible. All bathrooms inside the Reformatory are ADA accessible.
ARE SERVICE ANIMALS ALLOWED?

Pets are not allowed within the Festival grounds. However, service animals, which have been trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability, are welcome. If accompanied by a service animal, you will be provided a Patron Notice of Responsibility for a Service Animal. Please enter through the accessible lane at either entrance for assistance.

CAN I BRING PRESCRIPTIONS OR SPECIAL DIETARY FOODS?

Outside food and drink are not allowed inside the Festival, but if a patron has special medical dietary restrictions, enough food for the one person for the day will be allowed. Patrons are allowed to bring their medically necessary materials and medications into the Festival, provided that all medicine has a prescription label with the patron’s name.

Our personnel at the entry gates will verify the contents of any medically necessary materials. Out of concern for the festival staff who handle the trash, please dispose of your medical waste and syringes in the proper disposal, which is located at the Medical Tent. Please do not dispose of these items in other trash bins at the Festival.

IS THERE ADA PARKING?

ADA parking will be located across from the festival grounds in the Red Parking Lot. In addition to your Red Lot vehicle “Hang Tag” you must have a valid state issued Disabled Person Parking placard, permit or license plate-as well as proof it belongs to you for entry into the Red Lot. Please follow the signage and the direction of festival staff and police to access this parking area.

IS THERE ADA CAMPING?

Yes, Inkcarceration is committed to making the events accessible to everyone and there will be accessible campsites available for both RV and Car-Tent Camping areas.
