Pride for every body

Built so everyone can be here.

Joy should never have a barrier. Here is what to expect on the grounds. Need something we have not listed? Just ask.

  • Deaf and hard of hearing: we are working on securing ASL interpreters for performances on the Bandshell stage.
  • A quiet zone with an escape space and sensory tent in the Veterans Pavilion, for sensory relief whenever you need it.
