Know Before You Go

  • The Big Field event area is grass covered and has uneven surfaces. Closed-toe shoes are recommended.
  • We encourage you to enjoy the amazing selection of food trucks, but you may bring in your own food. 
  • You are encouraged to bring water bottles. Refill stations will be available.
  • Port-a-johns will be available at the event site with ADA accessible facilities included.
  • Dogs are permitted, but please use your best judgment as we’re expecting a lot of people, so it will likely be crowded and loud. All dogs must be leashed, well-behaved and clean up after them.

Accessibility

Dix Park continues to strive to be accessible and welcoming for visitors, including those with disabilities. Currently, portions of Dix Park, including some areas where programs and events occur, have uneven surfaces and are not fully accessible. Accessibility is a primary focus for early park improvements and all future planning and development.
