Desert Daze welcomes all people with disabilities. We are continuously striving to enhance our efforts to ensure access to event amenities without limitations based on abilities.
Please read this informational guide thoroughly before sending an inquiry email. For any accessibility-related questions not answered in this guide, please email us at ada@desertdaze.org. We welcome and encourage all feedback and suggestions from our guests with disabilities. We will do our best to assist you and address your accessibility needs.
The venue is navigable for guests with mobility disabilities. The event is held on natural terrain with sections of grass and dirt, with beach areas on sand. VIP areas are accessible to those with this ticketing level. There are accessible routes connected throughout the venue including parking, camping, entrances, stages, accessible viewing areas, vendors, and all other activity areas.
Guests must navigate the festival grounds between stages on their own or with the support of a companion, as the festival does not offer transportation between stages. If you need assistance finding your most accessible route around the event, please visit us at the Accessibility Services Hub.
We encourage all guests with mobility disabilities to utilize personal forms of transportation, including wheelchairs and scooters. Crutches, walkers and canes are also permitted. If you need to recharge your motorized mobility device or other medical equipment, you may do so at the Accessibility Services Hub. Guests should bring all cords and accessories needed to charge their devices. Chargers must use a 110-volt, 20 amp circuit.
We will not be providing wheelchair or scooter rentals.
There will be a limited number of accessible parking spots for guests with disabilities onsite in both the Regular and Preferred parking lots, which are available on a first come, first served basis. You will need to purchase a parking pass on the event website to access these specific lots. You are required to bring a valid, state-issued handicap placard, permit, or license plate to enter this parking lot. The person to whom the handicap credential is issued must be present in the vehicle, as a driver or passenger.

There will be an accessible entry lane, located at the main entrance to enter the festival grounds. Guests with disabilities and up to one companion may use this lane to safely enter the venue. Please visit the Accessibility Services Hub immediately after entering the event to request the accessible accommodations and services you need.
Please Note: You must stop here to get your accessibility wristband. This wristband is free of charge and will grant you access to the accessible services required on account of a disability or injury. There is no accessibility pre-registration before the event – this is all done onsite at the event. There is not an “ accessibility ticket” that needs to be purchased in order to utilize accessibility services at Desert Daze.
The Accessibility Services Hub is conveniently located just inside the venue after entering through security. The exact location of this hub will be labeled on the event map when it is released. At this location, you can:
If a person with a disability wishes to change their companion, they can obtain a new accessibility companion wristband by returning the formerly used companion wristband to the Accessibility Services Hub, where it will be replaced. We are unable to reissue any accessibility wristbands unless the original wristband is brought back to us to be reissued.
There will be accessible viewing areas made available to guests with disabilities and their one companion at designated stages. For more information on how to gain access to these areas, please visit us at the Accessibility Services Hub.
To request an accessible camping spot, please fill out our Accessible Camping Registration Form.
Accessible camping locations are available for those with accessibility needs. Campsites include close access to paths, entrances, exits, shuttles, accessible restrooms, and accessible showers.
Accessible camping spots are available on a first come, first serve basis. Registering helps us prepare for your group and plan our accessible camping area. Limited spots may be available to unregistered guests onsite but are not guaranteed.
You will need to bring your valid, state-issued handicap placard, plates, or sticker to enter the accessible camping area. The person to whom the placard or plate is issued must be present in the vehicle, as a driver or passenger. As part of gaining access to accessible camping spots, identification will be checked to ensure legitimate use.
Service animals are permitted throughout the venue. However, emotional support animals, therapy animals, companion animals, and pets are not permitted into the event. Any animal whose task is to provide protection, emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship is not considered a service animal and will not be allowed into the venue. Only service animals that have been individually trained and are under the proper care of their owners will be allowed within the premises.
The following guidelines must be followed:
We ask that you do not leave your animal in your car while you’re attending the event, as vehicles without active air conditioning may become too hot and unsafe for any animal. We also ask that you do not leave your animal in your RV UNLESS there is consistent air conditioning for them.
We accept requests for any of the following services:
To ensure adequate time for planning, requests for these services should be made no later than 30 days before the event. While we will strive to accommodate requests submitted less than 30 days prior to the event, we cannot guarantee fulfillment after the cutoff date. The cutoff date for this event is September 10th, 2024.To submit a request, please fill out the Effective Communication Request Form.
Once you arrive, please check-in at the Accessibility Services Hub to be connected with our interpreting team.
