  • Questions during the festival?

    The information booth in the center of the main lawn is a great resource for questions. In addition, this will be the location to recharge wheelchair batteries or other assistive technology. If you need to store equipment such as oxygen tanks or insulin, festival staff will register the equipment and place it in a safe location.

    Anyone with a “STAFF” shirt or Radio can direct you or answer questions.

  • Recharge Station

    Parades and festivals can be a lot! There are recharge stations around the festival to charge small devices such as phones.
