Sensory Friendly Event Guide

 Festivalgoers will encounter a wide range of visual art projects featuring bright lights, vibrant decorations, and dynamic digital projections. Earlier in the evening, the street will be lit by natural light, while some projects inside venues will feature dim lighting to enhance visual effects. Spiraling and flickering lights may be used for some outdoor projects, creating a stimulating environment as daylight fades. For those who prefer a calmer atmosphere, our designated sensory-friendly room offers a quiet, low-light space. Festivalgoers with light sensitivities are encouraged to bring sunglasses to help reduce discomfort.

 Some areas of the festival will have a lively auditory atmosphere, while others offer quieter moments between acts. Opening remarks will be shared through a PA system, and live music and performances will use amplified sound. During peak hours, general street noise may increase due to crowd activity. For quieter moments, our sensory-friendly room offers a low-noise environment. We recommend bringing earplugs or noise-canceling headphones. Free earplugs will also be available at designated locations.

 A variety of local food trucks and vendors will be located in the food court area, offering a diverse culinary experience. Attendees are welcome to bring their own snacks or beverages if they prefer. West Street is filled with local businesses where food and beverage are available for purchase.

 Interactive exhibits may invite hands-on engagement. As the event takes place primarily outdoors, weather may vary. We recommend dressing for rain, wind, cold, or warmth to stay comfortable throughout the night.

 Aromas from food vendors may be present, especially near the food court area. Please note that our sensory-friendly room has a scent-free policy to support those with sensitivities.

 CB Nuit spans the length of West Street, which will be closed to traffic to ensure safe and free movement for walking and rolling. Nearly all event spaces are wheelchair accessible. If you have specific access needs, our team is happy to help — please reach out!

Festival navigation may include stairs, ramps, or elevators within certain buildings, though West Street itself is flat and even. Some projects may feature immersive elements like VR, which can affect balance. Weighted lap pillows will be available in limited supply to support grounding and comfort during these experiences.

This internal sense relates to bodily needs like hunger, thirst, or the need for restrooms. Multiple accessible, gender-neutral, and family-friendly restroom options are available, including changing tables. In support of sustainability, we do not provide plastic water bottles and encourage guests to bring refillable bottles. Attendees are welcome to bring their own snacks or beverages if they prefer. West Street is filled with local businesses where food, beverage, and restrooms are available.
