Venue

This year we are at a new venue called The Supermarket. It's located less than a mile from last year's venue. You can see details about the space at the Venue FAQ.

Accessibility

  • We anticipate there will be plenty of seating during the event. However, if seating runs out and you need a seat for accessibility reasons, please let an organizer know and we can figure out a solution together.
  • The Supermarket is a wheelchair accessible venue, see the FAQ, under How do I get there? for a more detailed map.
  • Masks and covid tests will be available on-site. Participants are encouraged to test and not attend if they feel sick

Getting There

There are three entrances to The Supermarket:

  • Main entrance: Located on N Highland Ave NE. Our door is between Big Softie and Colette Bakeshop leading you down a hallway and a staircase.
  • Side entrance: Our secondary entrance is through a residential courtyard. Enter through the black metal gate on the side of the Otto's building from the parking lot (at N. Highland and Blue Ridge). Note: this entrance has a few stairs.
  • Accessible entrance: Backside of the building, accessible via Otto's parking lot. Signage is in the works but, in the meantime, please call to be escorted to our back entrance. (404) 458-1738.
