ACCESSIBILTY

Visit the Festival’s accessibility page for full details.  

Is the Green wheelchair accessible?  
Yes. Each area will have pods specifically for wheelchair users and their parties. You will have an opportunity to let us know that you will need one during the reservation process. You can also identify yourself as a wheelchair user (and any other accessibility needs you may have) by logging into your account https://www.artidea.org/my-account and checking off the Wheelchair user box in the Accessibility section. This will let us know your needs across all Festival events you attend, so you won’t need to identify every time you register.

Will performances be sensory friendly? 
Green performances tend to be loud, so caution is advised for patrons with sensitivity to sound. Sealed earplugs will be made available at the Info Center on the Green.

Will the livestreamed events be captioned?  
Tune in on Facebook Live for automated captioning for all our livestreamed events! Sound will run through our sound board so if it is spoken into a microphone then it will be heard.

Who do I reach out to If I have questions about accommodations? 
If you have any issues or questions for your accommodations, please contact our People Generalist, Madeline Miranda at 203.498.3706 or mmiranda@artidea.org.
