Wheelchair & Mobility Access

  • Stairs are not required to enter the festival grounds or to navigate the sidewalks or pavilions. At the main entryway under the Harriet Island Arch, ADA-compliant ramps lead down to the festival grounds.
  • A couple standard outlets are available at the Harriet Island Pavilion to charge mobility devices. 
  • There will be a wheelchair-accessible Port-a-Potty. 
  • Most vendors are accessible by sidewalk, but some are located in a grassy field. The tents where speakers, cooking demos, and music take place also are on grass. You may want to use off-road wheels to access vendors and events located in the grass.
  • Readily accessible chairs marked “ADA Seating” will be located around the festival.
  • There are ADA parking spaces reserved at the parking lot at Harriet Island Park. A placard is required to use them. (We cannot guarantee parking spaces will be available.)

Service Dog Access

  • The Twin Cities Veg Fest information table has bowls of water for service dogs. 
  • The festival takes place in a large park, and there are typically quiet, grassy spaces available for dogs to rest. 
  • TC Veg Fest welcomes all well-behaved, leashed dogs; non-service dogs may also be present.

Hearing & Seeing Access 

  • Twin Cities Veg Fest is happy to ask speakers or cooking demo presenters to provide written copies of their presentation. Please reach out to us at info@tcvegfest.com or 612-276-2242.
  • Need help finding a specific booth? Please enter through the Harriet Island Park main arch entrance — it’s directly off Water St, and marked as “Harriet Island Trailhead” on Google Maps. A volunteer at the booth to the right-hand side as you enter the park will be happy to walk you to your destination.
