RALEIGH - AccessABILITY Day is returning to the fairgrounds on Sunday, Oct. 20, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This event, presented by Bandwidth, provides a more inclusive, less stimulating environment that welcomes all fairgoers regardless of ability.
As soon as the gates open at 9 a.m., vendors and booths will operate without lights or music until 1 p.m. Beginning at 10 a.m., rides and games will do the same thing.
Additionally, music stages will play acoustic sets with light amplification and public address systems will only be used for lost visitor announcements.
AccessABILITY Day offers a variety of fun “on the spot” activities.
There will be a “Bandwidth Chill Out Zone” available to guests in the Jim Graham Building until 5 p.m. This zone offers tables, chairs, low lighting and soft music for fairgoers who need to take a break from the busy atmosphere.
Noise-canceling headphones are available to check out in the “Bandwidth Chill Out Zone” for those who need them also until 5 p.m.
