Navigating the North Side from Festplatz to Main Street
There are two ways to get from Service Electric Festplatz to Main Street:
- Head south on Main Street to loop around to make your way down to Service Electric Festplatz. Along this pathway the street will be closed, and there are also sidewalks on both sides.
- Ohio Road is another option, but is very steep and can be very congested with people, and is therefore not the most accessible option.
Food vendors
This year, all food vendors have the option of indicating the allergens that are present in their vendor booth to support special diets and food allergies on a sign that will be posted in front of their vendor booth. If you are unsure, or have specific questions, please ask the food vendor.
Restrooms
There are sanitary, wheelchair accessible restrooms located throughout the event grounds, at all restroom locations. Restrooms are cleaned/maintained on a regular basis throughout the event. On the Southside, flushing toilets are available on the first floor of the ArtsQuest Center.
First Aid
The LVHN First Aid tent locations are indicated on the Musikfest map. On the Northside, it is located in Familienplatz and in Yuengling Lagerplatz, and on the Southside the location is near the Wind Creek Steel Stage. Professional medical staff is available to assist anyone with any medical issues that arise.
Charging Stations / Changing Areas
Charging stations will be available to recharge wheelchair batteries, medical equipment, or other assistive technology devices at the Inclusion Zone locations as well as the LVHN First Aid tents.
