The Accessible Viewing Area is located at the near the Reserved Lawn seating area on the west side of the concert bowl. Staff will manage the viewing area accordingly to make sure all patrons are comfortable.
Golf Carts Transports: Golf carts will be available to transport patrons with mobility impairments to and from designated pickup spots in Lake Sallie and Northwoods campgrounds and the concert bowl. Also, a standard golf cart taxi service is available for all patrons for a fee.
Powered Mobility Devices: Guests with mobility disabilities are welcome to use motorized wheelchairs and three or four wheeled scooters. For safety reasons, guests may NOT use golf carts, all-terrain vehicles, two wheeled scooters or motorbikes, either in the venue itself, or in the parking and camping areas.
Prescription Medicines: Prescriptions must have a prescription label. Photo ID must match the prescription label. For the safety of our staff please dispose of all medical waste/syringes in the proper receptacles in our medical tents. Guests needing a cool place to store their medications can contact: info@wefest.com to make those arrangements.
Special Dietary Needs: Patrons with special medical dietary restrictions are allowed to bring a personal amount of food in if accompanied by a doctor’s note. Please contact ada@wefest.com with any questions or concerns.
WE Fest welcomes and supports the rights and attendance of all persons with disabilities that rely on the special skills of a trained service animal. What we DO NOT support, nor will tolerate, are pets being misrepresented by their owners as service animals, when in fact they are not. So please, don’t do it. Leave your pet at home.
Service Animal Definition: A ‘service animal’ means “any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the handler’s disability.”Emotional support or comfort animals are not considered service animals under the ADA and therefore are not allowed at WE Fest.
For our patrons with disabilities who wish to bring their legitimate service animal to WE Fest, we ask that you review and follow the policies outlined below:
All patrons with a service animal will need to have that animal credentialed by WE Fest staff before entering the main gate. This process will be performed quickly and respectfully by our ADA Access Team. What will you need to do? It’s easy. At the entrance gate let staff know you need your service animal credentialed. Staff will speak with you, record your contact information, and provide a collar tag for your service animal. Then you are good to go! Security/Staff will be on the lookout this year for all animals to have a properly credentialed WE Fest collar tag.
Remember, Service Animals are allowed, all other dogs are NOT!
