Accessibility

Celebrez En Rose is an accessible event, and we are dedicated to continually improving our efforts to ensure all guests have access to all the event amenities. The following explains the services provided this year. Please read this informational guide thoroughly before sending an inquiry email.

For any accessibility-related questions not answered in the guide, please contact us at this link. We welcome and encourage all feedback and suggestions from our patrons with disabilities. We will do our best to assist you and address your accessibility needs.

Attendees wishing to utilize some of the accessibility services at Celebrez En Rose will be required to wear an ADA Wristband. These will be available at the Accessibility Hub. Alternatively, you can notify front entrance staff upon arrival, and an Accessibility Team member will meet you at the front entrance. This wristband is free of charge and will grant you access to the accessibility services required on account of a disability or injury. A wristband is not needed for ADA parking and the ADA entry lane.

The Accessibility Services Hub will be conveniently located inside the festival. Please check back for an updated map.

At this location, you can:

• Request accommodations and services you require.
• Get your ADA questions answered.
• Get your ADA Wristband.

Wristband Policies

• ADA Wristbands are valid for the entire duration of the event.
• DO NOT remove your wristband at any point during the event.
• Patrons may request a wristband for one companion if needed.
• If a disabled guest wants to switch their companion, please bring the old companion wristband to the Accessibility Services Hub to be reissued.

There will be a limited number of ADA parking spots for patrons with disabilities onsite, and are available on a first come, first served basis. You are required to bring a valid, state-issued handicap placard, permit, or license plate to enter this parking lot. The person to whom the handicap credential is issued must be present in the vehicle, as a driver or passenger.

Patrons with disabilities can also be dropped off by friends and family at the ADA Parking area. Drivers must present a valid handicap placard or plates to drop off guests in this zone. Please follow directional signage and traffic attendants to this zone.

There will be an ADA entry lane, located at each entrance into the festival. Patrons with disabilities and up to one companion may use this lane to safely enter the venue. Please visit the Accessibility Services Hub immediately after entering the event to request the ADA accommodations and services you need.

The venue is navigable for patrons with mobility disabilities. There are accessible routes connected throughout the venue including parking, entrances, ADA viewing areas, merchandise, and food vendors. Our Houston and DMV venues have plenty of concrete sidewalks, while our Atlanta venue is largely made of grass pathways. 

We encourage all patrons with mobility disabilities to utilize personal forms of transportation, including wheelchairs and scooters. Patrons are also permitted to bring crutches, walkers, and canes into the event. If you need to recharge your motorized mobility device, you may do so at the Accessibility Services Hub. Patrons should bring all cords and accessories needed to charge their devices. Chargers must use a 110-volt, 20 amp circuit.

We will not be providing wheelchair or scooter rentals.

Accessible cart service is available for our disabled attendees who need it. Please be aware that our carts only operate on the periphery of the festival grounds due to public safety and do not drive within the festival grounds.

• An ADA Wristband issued by an Accessibility Services Hub is required to utilize this service. Wait times depend on volume.
• Pick-up and drop-off locations are located near the ADA parking area, entrance / exit, Accessibility Services Hub, and Accessible Viewing Area. 
• Please note: For the Houston event, the entrance pick-up location will be at the BOX OFFICE building to the right of the main entrance. If you would like to request cart service upon arrival, please walk past the main entrance and head straight to the box office.

There will be an accessible viewing area made available to ADA patrons. For more information on how to gain access to these areas, please visit us at the Accessibility Services Hub.

Accessible Viewing Area Policies:

• Patrons and their companions must have an ADA wristband to access the Viewing Area.
• Seating is available on a first come, first served basis.
• Companions may be asked to stand in the back if the viewing area reaches capacity.
• Guests may not save spots.
• Blocking the view of the guests sitting behind you is not permitted.
• Standing is permitted only in the very back row.
• Patrons and companions may not smoke in these areas.

Service animals that have been trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability are welcome. However, emotional support animals, therapy animals, companion animals, and pets are not permitted into the event. Any animal whose task is to provide protection, emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship is not considered a service animal and will not be allowed into the venue. Only service animals that have been individually trained and are under the proper care of their owners will be allowed within the premises.

The following guidelines must be followed:

• All service animals must be verified by the ADA Coordinator or Manager before entering the event venue.
• Once verified, service animal handlers are required to fill out a Service Animal Agreement before proceeding into the event grounds. Once signed, service animals will receive a service animal wristband or tag to indicate verification.
• Service animals must remain by the handler’s side at all times and must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered. If these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or if the handler’s disability prevents the use of these devices, the handler must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.
• Service animals must be housebroken and should use the service animal relief area.
• Anyone bringing an animal will be responsible for and liable for any damage or injury caused by the animal.
• All service animals should have legally required vaccinations. The ADA Coordinator or Manager may ask for proof of vaccination during the verification process.

We ask that you do not leave your animal in your car while you’re attending the event, as vehicles without active air conditioning may become too hot and unsafe for any animal.

We accept requests for any of the following services:

• ASL Interpretation
• Other forms of Effective Communication

Requests for these services must be submitted to us at least 30 days prior to the event to allow for sufficient preparation. The deadline for each event is as follows:

Celebrez En Rose will consider requests by patrons with disabilities for reasonable modification of event policies, practices or procedures, or for auxiliary aids and services that will permit the patron equal enjoyment of the goods and services offered at the event. We encourage you to make any such request as far in advance as possible to enhance our ability to evaluate and fulfill the request.
