Access Options

The festival will be taking place at Golden Gate Park, in the Polo Field and Lindley Meadow. We are very excited to be working with the City of San Francisco Recreation and Park Department in such a beautiful natural environment. The Festival grounds are wheelchair accessible, but please be aware that this is a large venue with great distances between stages. In addition, it is an outdoor music festival situated in a park. Therefore, most travel is over natural terrain.

Disability parking spaces, marked in blue, are located on 36th Avenue, which can be reached via the 36th Avenue and Fulton Street entrance. These spaces are reserved for vehicles displaying state-issued (any state) disability placards or license plates. Raised seating areas will be reserved for people with mobility limitations and one companion at all of the stages. Please note that these areas have limited capacity and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Accessible restrooms will be located throughout the concert site. Service animals trained to assist disabled persons will be allowed into the festival. There will be a raised platform viewing area for persons with disabilities. One companion is allowed onto the platform area.

Food Options

Reasonably priced food (including vegetarian/vegan options) and drinks will be available on-site. More information about the food vendors and options will be released in upcoming weeks.

Security/Safety

Our primary goal is to create a safe and secure environment for all festival attendees. To ensure this, there will be on-site security provided by local police and private security companies. If you're experiencing any problems whatsoever, locate a festival staff member, security guard, or police officer.
