Special Needs Access & Accommodations

Accessible Parking
This information is currently being updated and will be posted as soon as new information is available for the new venue.

Accessible Viewing
Accessible Viewing is available near the corner of 13th and Chestnut within the venue. Patrons are encouraged to bring their own seating (lawn chairs, blankets, etc.)

Food and Beverage
Five food vendors and two beverage vendors will have cold beverages, including water, Pepsi and Budweiser products for sale. Our beverage booths are staffed by volunteers and raise funds for local charities, so we appreciate your purchase of drinks on-site.

Community Outreach
Through the Fair Saint Louis Foundation’s Community Vendor Program, local non-profit organizations provide the volunteers in our beverage booths and raise funds for their organizations at the same time. Since the inception of the Fair Saint Louis community vendor program, volunteers have shared in the millions they have collectively raised for their respective organizations.

We encourage you to learn more about each of our participating organizations and how they are giving back to the community. Be sure to support them by enjoying your favorite beverage at Fair Saint Louis Foundation events!

Safety & Medical
We make every effort to create a safe environment at Fair Saint Louis and the Celebrate St. Louis Summer Concerts, including public and private security and medical staff. If you need any assistance, seek out the medical tent or look for a volunteer or staff member. Also, it can get hot during the summer, so drink lots of water. Look for free water fountains throughout the venue.

Lost & Found
Lost & Found will be located at the Fair Saint Louis/Celebrate St. Louis Summer Concerts Information tent.
