Accessibility Information

If you need an accommodation not listed, once you arrive at the event, you can ask any of our volunteers at check-in, at our welcome table, and throughout the event, wearing lanyards and/or black aprons with the Handmade Arcade logo! For ideas on how to increase accessibility next year, please email us at info@handmadearcade.org. We ask that you please be patient with our response, as Handmade Arcade is run by just one full-time staff member.

• Wayfinding: The hall has large aisles. We suggest following the flow of people – starting at Table 1 in the front right corner of the hall. For help navigating the hall, grab a printed map from a volunteer or at the check-in table or find the oversize wayfinding sign at the even and the QR code for a digital map.
• Sensory Warning: The market draws a large crowd and is in a hall with fluorescent lights, music, and occasional announcements over the microphone. We have created a dedicated quiet space located outside of Hall A. When you exit the hall, walk to the right toward the window wall. Just past the restroom, you will see a quiet hallway on your right, where you are welcome to relax and regroup. Anyone who can benefit from using it is welcome!
• Lactation Room: Breastfeeding is welcome anywhere, anytime, any place at Handmade Arcade’s markets. If you prefer a dedicated private space, one is located just outside Hall A near the glass elevator. For privacy reasons, DLCC requires it to be locked; please go to the welcome table (inside the Hall) to be escorted by a volunteer with a key.
• Changing Tables: Changing tables are in all Family Restrooms. They are located in:
  • Hall A
  • The lobby near the entrance to Hall A
  • the East Lobby (first floor)
• All Gender Restrooms: Hall A has an All Genders restroom at the back of the hall. If you are facing the Concessions Stand, it is in the left corner and marked with signage. You are also welcome to use any Family Restroom. They are single rooms with a door that locks.
• Mobility Supports: Wheelchairs are available to borrow during your visit to the DLCC. They are first come, first served, and borrowed by leaving your ID with the security guard at the desk as you enter the East Lobby doors.
  Additionally, there is seating in the lobby and in front of concessions in the Hall. Please feel welcome to take a break in either space.
• Service Animals: Service animals are always welcome; pets are not. Service animals are not pets; they are trained to assist people with disabilities. Proof of training as a service animal is not required, nor are special jackets.
