Pride Fest Access Guide

The Access Guide for the 2025 Pride Fest is such a commendable document, packed with detailed, practical information for every event.

Here’s the information for a “Speed Friending” event that Olivia went to last week, for example:

  • The venue has a ramp entrance.
  • Gender-neutral washrooms are available on site.
  • The space is air-conditioned and an air purifier will be in use.
  • Attendees are welcome to move around, step outside, or take a break at any time.
  • The event is not mask-mandatory but is highly encouraged.
  • The venue is a scent-free space. Please avoid wearing
    scented products such as perfume, cologne, or heavily scented lotions.
  • Refreshments will be provided after the event.
  • Fidgets and noise-cancelling headphones will be available.
  • An Access Toolkit with sensory and support supplies can be accessed by speaking with a volunteer.
  • There is a parking lot with limited space at the venue, as well as street parking available.

All festivals and events should have something like this.
