ACCESSIBILITY INFO
Spirit Social takes place at the historic Old Rock Store, which has some accessibility limitations. Please note that our complimentary shuttle service is not wheelchair accessible and cannot transport wheelchairs or mobility scooters. In addition, the building's second-floor Loft is accessible only by stairs and does not have an elevator or lift. As a result, the Loft Sessions and portions of the VIP experience—including the VIP Reception and VIP After-Hours Investigation—require the use of stairs.
If you use a wheelchair or other mobility device and are interested in attending, please contact us at thenightowlpodcast@gmail.com before purchasing your ticket. While onsite accessible parking is extremely limited and cannot be guaranteed, we will do our best to accommodate your needs whenever possible.
PARKING/Transportation
The event venue itself will be dedicated primarily to the Spirit Market and festival activities, so attendee parking will be located at our nearby shuttle lot. Free parking will be available at our designated off-site parking lot, with complimentary shuttle service provided to and from Spirit Social throughout the day. To help accommodate peak arrival and departure times, five shuttle buses will run between 11:00 AM–1:00 PM and again from 11:00 PM–1:00 AM. Between 1:00 PM and 11:00 PM, one shuttle will operate continuously, so guests arriving later in the day may experience longer wait times as the shuttle completes its route. We encourage attendees to arrive early whenever possible or consider using a rideshare service for the most convenient arrival experience.
Please note: Our shuttle vehicles are not wheelchair accessible and cannot accommodate wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Guests who use a wheelchair or other mobility device should contact us at thenightowlpodcast@gmail.com before purchasing a ticket to inquire about limited onsite accessible parking. While accessible parking cannot be guaranteed, we will do our best to accommodate your needs whenever possible.
Detailed parking directions and shuttle information will be emailed to all ticket holders prior to the event.
