About Our Facilities : ADA Accessibility

Milwaukee World Festivals, Inc. works to make each of its venues physically accessible for all festival goers. All festival venues are ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible.

Facility Access: Accessible picnic tables, drinking fountains and accessible restrooms are located throughout the grounds. Accessible seating is also available at all stage areas on a first-come, first-served basis.

Also, during VERGE passengers in personal vehicles can be dropped-off/picked-up at the South Gate or on Michigan Street near Urban Park.

National Spinal Cord Injury Association Respite Pavilion: This "smoke free" facility, located just South of the Miller Lite Oasis, is specifically designed for the comfort of our patrons who have disabilities and special needs. The pavilion includes a fully accessible shower and restroom facilities, an air conditioned rest area and an outdoor observation deck. Storage lockers and oxygen storage is available. No attendant services are available. This facility closes at 9:00 pm.

Sign Language Interpreters: Sign language interpreters can be provided for specific performances upon request by calling the Summerfest offices at 414.273.2680 (voice/TTY).

Service Animals: Service animals are allowed on the grounds provided the animal does not pose a danger or threat to other service animals or patrons. Owners of service animals are responsible for the animal's personal cares. A relief area for service animals is located behind the Respite Pavilion.
