Accessibility Information:

This event will be held in/near a barn on private property. The ground is slightly bumpy on the grass and gravel. The barn has a concrete floor with steps to wooden floors. There will be a low-sensory space for those needing a break from human interaction. Dogs are welcome, but we request that all people ensure their dogs are safe. If dogs (or people) are not safe, they will be required to leave. :)

Camping

For those who wish to stay overnight, there will be tent and RV camping available onsite. Please RSVP in advance with the number of vehicles/tents to info@wallowalgbtq.org. There will be a strict noise cutoff of 10 pm. Please be ready to respect this so we can continue using this amazing venue into the future.
