ADA & Accessibility

Blue Ridge Rock Festival is committed to making the event accessible to everyone. For the first time-ever, we are partnering with Fahntoosh, a premier ADA company to provide full-service ADA amenities to this year’s Festival.

The festival is held outdoors and there are sometimes great distances between stages. There will be a raised viewing area at the main stages for those with mobility limitations.

Please head to the Information Booth when you arrive at the Festival. There you will check-in and be provided with all of the information you need to make your weekend at Blue Ridge a seamless one!

  • Seated ADA viewing platforms (See below for more details)
  • ADA Accessible restrooms
  • Mobility-device charging and storage
  • Chilled medication storage (ice chest only)
  • Family services (changing/feeding)
  • Event Information
  • American Sign Language Interpreters (select sets based on requests)
  • When you enter the festival grounds, visit the access center to obtain a wristband allowing access to the dedicated viewing areas, purchasing an accessible ticket is not necessary. The Accessible Viewing Areas are located in GA sections.
  • The wristband does NOT guarantee a spot in these areas and is to show Festival staff that the patron plus one companion is eligible to enter the accessible viewing areas. The accessibility wristband is non-transferable. Please note that the viewing areas have a limited capacity and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We cannot save or reserve seats or areas on the platform. Once it’s determined that an accessible viewing area is filled to capacity (including adequate aisle space for entering and exiting the area), the area will not be available for additional entry.
  • Signage will be placed at the Festival identifying all viewing areas for patrons with mobility limitations and patrons who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing.
  • Our festival grounds – while wheelchair accessible – is also a large outdoor venue with great distances between our stages, activities, and attractions.   Most travel is over natural terrain and some pavement. If it rains, muddy areas could develop.
  • The Festival does not provide personal care, golf cart rides, or push services of any kind or wheelchairs for rent or loan. Wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, and three or four-wheeled scooters are allowed only for use by patrons with mobility disabilities. For safety reasons, requests to use other power-driven mobility devices will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
  • Powered wheelchairs may also be charged at the Access Center. Patrons should bring all cords and accessories needed to charge their devices. Chargers must use a 110-volt, 20-amp circuit.
  • Accessible portable toilets are available at the ends of each bank of portable toilets throughout the festival venue.

Pets are not allowed within the Festival grounds. However, service animals, which have been trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability, are welcome. If accompanied by a service animal, you will be provided a Patron Notice of Responsibility for a Service Animal.

  • Outside food and drink are not allowed inside the Festival, but if a patron has special medical dietary restrictions, enough food for the one person for the day will be allowed.
  • Patrons are allowed to bring their medically necessary materials and medications into the Festival, provided that all medicine is in its original packaging and has a prescription label with the patron’s name which matches their ID.

There is designated ADA parking in all parking lots. Vehicles will need both their advanced purchase parking pass along with a valid government issued ADA placard or license plate to park in these designated ADA areas.

Yes, there will be accessible campsites available. ADA Accessible showers will be available within camping.
