The parade route is fully accessible. Accessible portable toilets, accessible water, wheelchair charging stations, and service animal relief areas will be provided.

For speeches, Communication Access Real-time Transcription (CART),  American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation, and audio-description will be provided. 

To request additional accommodations, if you haven't filled out the Registration Form yet, please do so and indicate the accommodations you need. If you have already filled it out, we apologize, but ask that you complete it again. We are a very small team, and accessibility is important to us.
