Weather or other Interruptions:
The Festival will attempt to go on even if it rains (or snows like it did in 2008). Short or light periods of rain will only delay the Festival but the show will stay on schedule. The weather savvy local audience dresses for the weather ducks into local restaurants and bars and comes right back out when the weather clears up. We maintain weather monitors at all times and will keep audiences posted if we foresee any server problems.
Children at the Festival:
The Deep Ellum Entertainment district is an edgy adult oriented area with bars, nightclubs, restaurants, and galleries. This visual and performing arts festival is also adult oriented. While supervised young children and teenagers are welcome during the day, there are no activities specifically planned for them.
Portable Restrooms:
Outdoor restrooms are located at Pryor Street, Malcolm X street, and Walton Street.
