2024 ACCESSIBILITY / ADA

ELIGIBILITY

It is not acceptable to fake or exaggerate a disability to gain access to disability accommodations. Our Accessibility department has finite resources and needs to focus these resources on helping those who legitimately require assistance.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES HUB

There will be an Accessibility Services Hub conveniently located inside the festival grounds to support and address the needs of all attendees with accessibility needs. This location will be labeled on the guest facing map when released. There is no Accessibility pre-registration before the event - this is all done onsite at the event.

At an Accessibility Services Hub, you can :

• Learn about accessibility services and receive answers to your questions
• Receive an accessibility wristband
• Effective Communication check-in
• Register service animals

ACCESSIBILITY WRISTBAND

Guests with disabilities wishing to utilize many of the accessibility services at Camp Flog Gnaw will be required to acquire an accessibility wristband. This wristband is acquired onsite at our Accessibility Service location. There is not an “accessibility ticket” that needs to be purchased in order to utilize accessibility services at Camp Flog Gnaw.

• Accessibility wristbands are valid for the duration of the festival.
• DO NOT remove your wristband for the duration of the festival.
• One (1) accessibility companion wristband will be issued per guest with a disability.
• Additional wristbands may be issued for families with young children.

If a person with a disability wishes to change their companion, they can obtain a new accessibility companion wristband by returning the formerly used companion wristband to the Accessibility Services Hub, where it will be replaced. We are unable to reissue any accessibility wristbands unless the original wristband is brought back to us to be reissued.

MOBILITY DISABILITIES

We encourage guests with mobility disabilities to utilize personal forms of transportation, including wheelchairs and scooters. Crutches, walkers and canes are also permitted. Please note that we will not be renting mobility devices onsite.

Accessible Routes

The venue is navigable for people with mobility disabilities. The event is held on primarily cement with sections of natural terrain. Guests will need to traverse throughout the festival grounds between stages independently or with the assistance of a companion. If you need assistance finding your most accessible route around the event, please visit us at an Accessibility Services Hub.

Charging

If you need to recharge your motorized mobility device or other medical equipment, you may do so at the Accessibility Services Hub.

• Bring all cords and accessories needed to charge your devices.
• Chargers must use a 110-volt, 20 amp circuit.
• We will not be providing wheelchair or scooter rentals.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING

A designated accessible parking lot will be available for attendees with a valid Disabled Person Parking placard, permit or license plate, as well as the applicable proof that it belongs to them. Accessible parking in this lot requires an event parking pass and is available on a first come, first serve basis.

Directions

Please check back closer to festival dates for the most up to date info on Parking and Directions.

Verifications

To utilize accessible parking, you must have :

• Disabled Person Parking placard, permit or license plate.
• DMV-issued documentation that accompanies the Disabled Person Parking placard, permit or license, and corresponding ID.
• Documentation will be verified by law enforcement.
• The person to whom the placard, permit or license plate is issued in the vehicle.

It is against the law to park in an accessible parking space without the required credentials or to fraudulently use credentials in order to gain access to Accessible Parking.

RIDESHARE & LOADING + UNLOADING ZONE

After using the accessibility entry at the main entrance, please visit the Accessibility Services Hub immediately to inquire of further accessible services provided at the event.

ACCESSIBLE VIEWING AREAS

There will be accessible viewing areas made available to guests with disabilities and their one (1) companion at designated stages. For information on how to gain access to these areas, please visit us at an Accessibility Services Hub.
