Reduced mobility
Measures have been put in place to ensure that all outdoor FestiVoix sites are accessible to people with reduced mobility. The various measures have been approved by Bail-Mauricie.
SITE ACCESSIBILITY
Most FestiVoix sites are accessible to people with reduced mobility. Please note! Places are limited on all our sites, and the first-come, first-served rule 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 Avant-scène Hangar-29..
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 attend FestiVoix, a person with reduced mobility must pay his or her own admission fee online at www.festivoix.com and present the CAL card upon arrival at the festival site, in order for free general admission to apply to his or her companion. To obtain your CAL card: www.aqlph.qc.ca.
SANITARIES
Wheelchair-accessible toilets are available at all our sites.
RESERVED SPACES
Reserved areas for festival-goers with special needs are available for anyone who has difficulty getting around permanently, and who therefore uses a manual or electric wheelchair, scooter, quad, or with the help of a guide dog. For people using a multipod cane, white cane, crutches or walker, a number of seating areas are available at all our sites.
*Please note that the first-come, first-served rule applies, and that spaces for four-wheelers are limited due to their size. We therefore offer the possibility of parking your scooter near the entrance in a secure area and having someone accompany you to the reduced mobility zone.
OTHER SERVICES OFFERED ON THE SITE
From the moment you arrive on site, our information desk, located at the end of Rue des Forges in the Trois-Rivières harbour park, will be on hand to answer all your questions and ensure your stay is a memorable one!
A free rental service for wheelchairs, walkers, canes and crutches is available from our first-aid team.
A loading dock for access to the main site is also available near the information kiosk.
.A shuttle and bike-taxi service* is available between the Voix Multiples, Voix Jazz, Voix Acoustiques and Voix Populaires stages for those with mobility problems.
