New Accessible Seating Areas for Effigy and Temple Burns

This year, we’re making the Effigy and Temple burns even more welcoming with a dedicated accessible seating area along the perimeter. Keep an eye out for the signs to find your spot. Up front, you’ll find a cozy ground-sitting zone. Just behind that, at a safe and comfy distance from the flames, we’ve set up a bring-your-own-chair section. Not sure if you’re far enough back? Just flag down one of our perimeter volunteers, and they’ll help you out.
