Our Commitment

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some third-party content and embedded services (such as Eventbrite ticketing) may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 standards. We are not responsible for the accessibility of third-party platforms, but we encourage users to contact those services directly with accessibility concerns.

Physical Event Accessibility

The Hanahan Amphitheater is handicap accessible. The accessible entrance is near the handicapped parking area. Follow the paved trail towards the concession area where our information tent is located and you can get checked in there. VIP ticket holders with handicap needs can drive down to the VIP area and park there. If you have specific accessibility needs for the event, please contact us in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you.
