ADA Requests
For guests and participants requesting ADA accommodations, there will be ADA and handicapped parking in the Christus Health parking lot on the first floor. Our UDPD officers will direct cars to the parking spaces set aside. Carts will transport ADA and handicapped guests from the parking lot to the nearest accessible spot to the Toyota Music Factory entrance, given the road closures for the Fiesta Marathon, approximately .1 miles from the corner of Fuller and Las Colinas Blvd. to the entrance to the auditorium [see linked map]. We will have 4 carts running from 7:00 a.m. when the Christus Health parking lot opens, until 10:00 a.m. After the event, the carts will be picking up ADA and handicapped guests who have parked at the Christus Health garage at the same point where people were dropped off and taking them back to the parking garage.
