Accessibility
Accessibility and inclusion are fundamental values for our organization, and we are committed to ensuring a welcoming environment for all. A number of measures are put in place every year to ensure that all FestiVoix outdoor sites are accessible to all. These measures have been approved by Bail-Mauricie.
SITE ACCESSIBILITY
All FestiVoix outdoor sites are accessible to people with reduced mobility. Places are limited on all our sites in general admission, the rule of first come/first served applies. Arrive early to get a prime spot.
Groupe Somavrac lodges are accessible to people with reduced mobility. However, wheelchairs are not permitted in the following areas: VIP Belitec, Club FestiVoix Desjardins, Zone 360 and front-stage aera.
FREE ADMISSION FOR YOUR COMPANION
As a person with reduced mobility, your companion can enter the various FestiVoix sites free of charge if you have the Carte accompagnement loisir (CAL). To obtain your CAL card: www.aqlph.qc.ca.
Reserved areas
Reserved areas for people with reduced mobility are provided at all outdoor sites. They are accessible to anyone who has permanent or temporary mobility problems, and who uses a manual or electric wheelchair, cane, crutches or walker.
Places in reserved areas are limited, and are on a first-come, first-served basis.
SEATING
There is plenty of free seating on the main site for shows on the Loto-Québec River Stage. We advise you to arrive early to guarantee a choice seat! What’s more, most of the FestiVoix stages offer seating, including the Monastère Hydro-Québec stage, the Garden stage, the Courtyard stage and the Chapelle Les Manoirs stage.
RELAXATION AREAS
Giant screens are set up at the Garden Stage and the Courtyard Stage to rebroadcast shows from the Monastère Hydro-Québec Stage and the Fleuve Loto-Québec Stage live. Away from the crowds, these areas offer a quieter environment for visitors who feel the need to enjoy the performances in a more tranquil setting.
