Accessibility at Harvest
Planning for Accessibility
Creating inclusive environments involves planning for accessibility, which addresses a broad range of needs that any of us might require assistance with during our lifetime. These needs may arise from temporary or long-term physical disabilities affecting movement, vision, or hearing. They may also include cognitive disabilities such as developmental and learning challenges, mental health conditions, environmental sensitivities, and other invisible, context-driven conditions.
Event Considerations
Our event presents some challenges:
- Navigating through crowds amid loud music with flickering lights and lasers
- Using portable toilets
- Walking at times in darkness on uneven, wet grass and paths
- Attendees also face various weather conditions, from cool to warm and wet
- Setting up and sleeping in tents or trailers
An accessibility request does not automatically guarantee a particular accommodation, service, or site arrangement.
Whenever possible, please contact us before arriving at the festival if you have an accessibility concern or require an accommodation. Advance notice gives us the best opportunity to understand your needs and determine what arrangements may be possible.
