The Festival Committee is working to make the Festival more accessible, including the following services:
- ASL interpretation for the Opening Ceremonies, the Parade, and the Saturday Info Day. For Info Day, find the interpreter in front of the New Deal Cafe from 2-4pm. For the parade, find the interpreter next to the reviewing stand.
- A Sensory Room (quiet room) – The Peaceful Place – a cool and quiet spot for people who need it will be available in the Community Center, room 103. Drop by for a quick respite from the festivities.
- Extra seating: Benches will be provided near the rides for parents and grandparents to wait and watch their children having fun on the rides.
- Curbs and Cuts: Greenbelt Police will take steps to insure that people attending the fair in wheelchairs or using strollers will have unfettered access to curb cuts.
- Dropping Off: Drop off spots for the festival will be provided and clearly marked.
- Wheelchair transportation: Do you need wheelchair accessible transportation to the Labor Day Festival? The Greenbelt Connection is here to help and it will be FREE for the weekend. Call 301-474-4100 to reserve your ride. Friday rides available 8am-3:30pm-call by Thursday 3:30pm. Saturday rides available 9am-4pm-call by Thursday 3:30pm.
