ACCESSIBILITY OVERVIEW
The festival is highly multi-sensory, and includes experiences that feature bright and moving lights, loud sounds, and colours. Large crowds are also to be expected. Our friendly Festival Assistants will be stationed throughout the festival zones for additional support.
All festival zones are accessible to wheelchair users, except for the Padang and the Asian Civilisations Museum Green. Accessible toilets are available on the first floor of all building venues except for the National Library. There are accessible toilets at levels B2 and L2 of the National Library. Service animals are welcome in all festival zones.
Various access provisions such as Singapore Sign Language interpretation are available for select programmes.
