Accessibility

SunFest hopes that all guests enjoy the festival and recognizes that some people need accessibility-related assistance.  Many access-related questions are answered below. For additional inquiries, please contact us at access@sunfest.com.

SunFest is held on city streets and parks. The terrain includes asphalt, concrete, grass, and curbs. The festival site is over ½-mile long and parking can be a distance from the gate. SunFest does not provide shuttle or push service. Please come prepared to get around the site on your own!  Some people have found that electric wheelchairs and scooters make all the difference.
