Indio International Tamale Festival is a fully accessible event and we are dedicated to continually improving our efforts to ensure you have access to all the event amenities. We welcome and encourage all feedback and suggestions from our patrons. The following explains the services provided this year. For any accessibility-related questions, please email us at info@indiotamalefestival.com. We will do our best to assist you and address your accessibility needs.

Wheelchair Accessibility

The venue is fully navigable for people with mobility disabilities. We encourage all guests with mobility disabilities to utilize personal forms of transportation, including wheelchairs and scooters. If you need to recharge your motorized wheelchair, you may do so at the INFO BOX OFFICE tent near Fantasy Springs Stage. Patrons should bring all cords and accessories needed to charge their devices. Chargers must use a 110-volt, 20-amp circuit. We are not providing wheelchair or scooter rentals.

ADA Parking

There will be limited ADA parking for guests with disabilities onsite. ADA parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. You will need a verified handicap placard, permit, or license plate to enter this parking lot. The person to whom the handicap credential is issued must be present in the vehicle, as a driver or passenger. You’ll find the ADA Parking at the corner of Miles Ave and Deglet Noor St.

Service Animals

Service animals are permitted throughout the venue. Pets are not encouraged and could be turned away.

The following guidelines must be followed:

  • All service animals must remain by the handler’s side at all times and must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered.

  • If these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or if the handler’s disability prevents the use of these devices, the handler must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.

  • Service animals must be housebroken and should use the service animal relief area.

  • Anyone bringing an animal will be responsible for and liable for any damage or injury caused by the animal.

  • All animals should have legally required vaccinations.
