Accessibility Info

Accessibility Information for Guests with Disabilities

DelFest is accessible to all guests with disabilities.

Guests with Disabilities

All festival patrons with mobility disabilities are welcome and will be accommodated at DelFest. Upon entry to the festival please present your handicapped parking placard, and the parking attendants or shuttle drivers will direct you towards our accessibility camping and parking areas.

Please complete the online 2020 Mobility Disability Request Form to request accommodations.

Please note: You still need to purchase regular festival and parking passes.

PRE-FESTIVAL QUESTIONS: Please email accessibility@delfest.com with any questions and include “Accessibility Accommodations” in the subject line.

QUESTIONS DURING THE FESTIVAL: Please go to the box office or on-site medical tents for questions regarding accessibility accommodations during the festival.

For all other non-mobility accommodations questions, please email accessibility@delfest.com with your accommodation request.

Service Animals – *Policy and Procedure*

Recently, DelFest has been inundated with non-service animal pets, who have accompanied their owners in violation of Maryland and federal law. Moreover, these animals have posed a threat to the health and safety of festival patrons and legitimate service animals. We have therefore developed a new service animal policy and procedure. The policy and procedure will be strictly enforced and implemented in the interest of ensuring that bona fide “service animals” are permitted and all other animals are prohibited at DelFest. By law, if an animal’s purpose or task is to provide protection, emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship, it is NOT considered a service animal and may NOT come to DelFest.

SERVICE ANIMAL POLICY: Qualified and bona fide service animals are welcome at DelFest. Pets and non-service animals are NOT permitted. It is a crime to misrepresent a pet as a service animal. Those who bring their non-service animals to the festival will be ejected from the festival site without refund.

All service animals must be trained for a specific function, related to a disability, housebroken, leashed and under control of their handler at all times. If any handler does not adhere to these conditions, the handler will be asked to remove the animal from the site.The handler then may return without the animal.

DelFest reserves the right to refuse admittance to or eject any individual whose conduct poses a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or service animals.

PROCEDURE: Any patron arriving at the festival with a service animal will need to have their service animal credentialed at the box office.  This process should not be feared, as it will be conducted with respect and understanding. After the service animal has been credentialed by festival staff, important information will be provided to the disabled individual. Once your service animal has been credentialed, staff are not likely to question you again unless the animal causes a problem. Any patron bringing a non-service animal will be not permitted onto any of the festival grounds, including camping areas.

Questions: Please direct any questions to accessibility@delfest.com.

Venue

The festival is held on the Allegany County Fairgrounds, which is an ADA compliant facility. Paved roads and pathways go throughout the property with hardened dirt paths in the campgrounds. The land is relatively flat with some small hilly areas in the campgrounds. The length of the venue is nearly ¾ of a mile long.

Parking

Patrons with a valid, state-issued accessible parking placard or tag must purchase the appropriate parking pass in order to park on-site. Upon arrival, show the parking attendant your Parking Pass and valid accessible placard and you will be directed to our Accessible Camping, centrally located within the fairgrounds and in close proximity to accessible bathhouses.

If you will be arriving in an RV (any vehicle 18′ or longer), you must purchase an RV Pass.

All patrons must follow the Arrival Guidelines.

Restrooms and Showers

Several “brick & mortar” restrooms are throughout the fairgrounds with accessible facilities and showers. DelFest supplements with accessible port-o-johns.

Medical

Medical professionals are on-site and available 24 hours a day located near the food court – see festival map.

The Western Maryland Regional Medical Center is located about 6.5 miles from the festival. Local pharmacies are located nearby in Cresaptown at the Food Lion, and in LaVale at Martin’s or Wal-Mart.

Placards and the Law

We have had reports of some patrons borrowing or otherwise falsely using accessible parking placards or tags. This uses valuable space that we are reserving for patrons who actually have disabilities. It is against the law for anyone to use an accessible parking placard that was issued to another person. It is against the law to duplicate an accessible parking placard. It is against the law to park in an accessible parking space without a legitimate accessible parking placards. As vehicles arrive, we will check identification to confirm legitimate use of these placards and will contact authorities in situations with improper use.

Folks~ We didn’t think it was possible, but Del Folks~

We didn’t think it was possible, but DelFest at Home was so fun and moving, that we almost feel like we had a real festival.  Nothing will ever compare to being at the Allegany County Fairgrounds with all of you, but watching the performances (many that we didn’t have time to watch the first time around), sharing your comments, photos from home, well wishes, and being able to interact with the staff, crew, fans, and many dear friends touched us...and most importantly, gave us a deeper appreciation for the community that is DelFest.  We’ll be sharing some stats and highlights with you, including some great #delfestathome setups.

With all of this in mind, it makes it even harder for us to make a final decision on where to go next with DelFest, because we know this decision impacts so many.  It’s clear through the comments this weekend that most of you think that the most likely scenario is for DelFest to come back in 2021.  We haven’t officially let go of the idea of a late summer 2020 festival, though we know it would take a miracle for that to happen.  We appreciate your patience as we have waited things out, but it’s time to make a decision.  On June 10, we will meet with state, regional, and local officials, and then use their recommendations to make the best decision for the fans and the community, which we will share with you immediately. 
Here are couple of things we committed to in April, that bear repeating:

If your circumstances are such that you need a refund at this time, please visit delfest.com to fill out our form and we will work with you. If you can stick with us, knowing that your tickets will be valid for a future DelFest, we appreciate it.

Let us assure you, there is no possibility that we would ever make a decision that would put our dad and mom at risk, so we would never ask you to put your family at risk.

Continue to be safe, love on your families, and stay tuned for a final decision on June 10. Thank you all for being part of our family.  We look forward to getting together with you again, whenever that may be.

Sincerely,

Rob and Ronnie
on behalf of the entire McCoury Family
