Accessibility

The Fall Arts Fair is open to the public, so it is subject to high volumes of people moving about at all times. There will be 60 different tents clustered outside, throughout the center of Fred Fletcher Park, with different artists and their work for sale.

Navigating Outdoor Noises

There will be outdoor entertainment, such as live music and a children's craft area. It is also a pet-friendly outdoor event, so dogs are expected. While there is no designated quiet space, the park has benches and more secluded areas away from the festival that may be quieter.

Navigating the Artist Demonstrations Area

In the Borden Building, you will see artists doing demonstrations of their artmaking.

Navigating the Event Location

Fred Fletcher Park has a paved concrete walkway that connects all entrances. There will be a toilet trailer located in the Washington street parking lot, including two standard restrooms and one wheelchair-accessible restroom with ramp.

Navigating Food Options

Food Trucks with various dietary options available will be located in the Washington St. parking lot. You can preview menus for Mama Voula’s, Jolly Sandwich Co., and Coffee in Your Community.

Please note: braille and large print menus will be available at the discretion of the food truck vendors.

Event Day Assistance

There will be City of Raleigh employees on-site at all times. If you have questions during your visit, please seek out the information booths located at each end of the soccer field or ask any of the Sertoma and Pullen Arts Center staff. They will be wearing black City of Raleigh t-shirts.

We look forward to having you at this year's Fall Arts Fair!
