SECTION 1: ACCESS INFORMATION
Pre-festival Questions | Email Charles Renn, at events@silverlakejubilee.com
Questions During the Festival | Information Booth | The staff and volunteers at Information Booth are available to answer questions and assist in other ways as needed. The Information Booth is located near the main entrance at Santa Monica Blvd. The Information Booth provides information regarding Silver Lake Jubilee’s services for people with disabilities as well as offering a place to relax in the shade and chill out for a while.
Compliments or Complaints? | Send an email at any time to events@silverlakejubilee.com. We need and appreciate your feedback.
SECTION 2: SERVICES FOR GUESTS WITH MOBILITY DISABILITIES
Getting to the event | If You Are Driving, have your state-issued accessible parking license plate, hang-tag, or placard easily visible so that the police will direct you to the best entrance.
Accessible Parking Placard | Accessible parking license plates, placards, and hang-tags are issued through each state’s department of motor vehicles. People with mobility disabilities should talk with their doctor to obtain the necessary documentation.
Temporary Accessible Parking Placard | If you have scheduled surgery or have another condition that will limit your mobility during the Silver Lake Jubilee, talk with your doctor about getting a temporary accessible parking tag.
The law and the Placard | 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 placard. As vehicles park, we will check identification to confirm legitimate use of these placards.
Description of the Site | Paved Streets | We want you to know that Silver Lake Jubilee is an outdoor music festival held on a public street. There are no big hills this is a nicely paved street.
Getting Around | Safety First | Please operate your mobility device in a safe and courteous manner. Please move no faster than the “walking speed” of the pedestrians around you. Operate your device according to manufacturer’s instructions. Thank you for this consideration.
What’s Allowed and What’s Not |
Power wheelchairs and three or four-wheeled scooters are allowed for use by people with mobility disabilities. Two-wheeled scooters, golf carts, or other vehicles are not allowed.
Recharging Chairs and Scooters
Some limited recharging for power wheelchairs and scooters is provided at the Information Booth. Because the power source is a generator that has the potential to fail, Silver Lake Jubilee does not guarantee availability of electricity. Power wheelchair users should bring their own means of recharging their mobility devices.
Generators up to 1.5 kW, are allowed. A simpler solution may be AC/DC power converters. They range in wattage from 150W up to 5000W. The ones under 400W may be plugged directly into a cigarette lighter socket and provide 1-2 conventional 115V outlets.
Power chair and scooter users should consult their owner’s manual to determine charging times and any other unique requirements for their particular model. These are suggestions only and each individual should confirm that the recharging method selected works for their device. Each individual is responsible for recharging his or her own device.
IMPORTANT NOTE: GOLF CARTS ARE NOT ALLOWED!
Patrons may not use golf carts or other motorized vehicles larger than an electric wheelchair or three or four-wheeled scooter, either in the camping areas or in the venue. These motorized vehicles will be confiscated.
Accessible Portable Toilets | Accessible portable toilets are available in the event foot print area and wherever other portable toilets are located.
Accessible ATMs | Check the Access Map for locations of accessible ATMs.
Folding Chairs | Low-backed, folding, concert chairs that sit less than one foot off the ground are allowed in the venue. Guests who are not able to sit so low to the ground may stop by the Information Booth to request permission to bring in a chair with a higher seat
Viewing Areas for Patrons with Mobility Disabilities | Silver Lake Jubilee provides reserved areas for guests with mobility disabilities. To find their locations look for the wheelchair symbols on event maps, signs with the wheelchair symbol, or ask at the Information Booth
Who May Use these Areas? | Guests who use wheelchairs will be able to use the reserved areas without a pass. Patrons with mobility disabilities who don’t use a wheelchair but who have a disability that substantially limits their ability to stand may stop by the Information Booth to request a pass to use these reserved areas. Those who have slight injuries need not apply.
What’s Not Cool | Faking it. We must maintain these areas for patrons who genuinely have mobility disabilities. Crowding the reserved areas defeats the purpose. Please do not abuse the system.
Folding Chairs | While there is usually enough space, there may be times when access is difficult, especially during very popular shows. Some chairs are provided but a seat is not guaranteed. You may bring your own folding concert chair.
Companion Policy | Each person with a disability may bring one companion into this area. Families, consisting of (no more than) two adults and any children less than 18 years of age, may stay together in the reserved areas.
Stage 1 | At Stage 1, there is a reserved area for guests with mobility disabilities.
Stage 2 | At Stage 2, there is a reserved area for guests with mobility disabilities.
Stage 3 | At Stage 3, there is a reserved area for guests with mobility disabilities.
Services That Are Not Provided | Wheelchair push service is not provided. Personal care attendants are not provided.
SECTION 3: SERVICES FOR PATRONS WHO ARE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING

Today is best. And, please, no later than April 20, 2012. The sooner you make your request, the better we can serve you.
If you know the schedule, be specific about the dates and times for performances that you would like interpreted. Otherwise, just knowing the artist will help tremendously. We can work out the schedule later. Make requests to events@silverlakejubilee.com. Include your cell phone number in your request.

Recharging medical devices | At the Information Booth, there are a limited number of outlets available to recharge batteries for medical devices.

We recommend using your cigarette lighter and car battery to recharge your medical devices. For more information, see “Recharging Chairs and Scooters” in this guide.
