Staying Connected:
Cell service at the festival grounds is limited due to our rural Southeast Ohio location. While some attendees may be able to make calls or send texts depending on their carrier and device, reliable coverage is not guaranteed throughout the site. To help you stay connected, we’ll have Wifi for you to use in the Main Tent.

Accessibility Info
Stuart’s Opera House believes that the arts should be enjoyed by all.
We are committed to making our event welcoming to every guest by continually improving our range of accommodations that ensure equal access to our venue and the music and community experiences within.
Due to the topographical features of Appalachian Ohio, many areas of Snow Fork Event Center contain small holes, uneven ground, and small hills. As we continue to develop this new festival site, we strive to greatly improve accessibility and pathways in future years. We welcome and encourage all feedback and suggestions from our attendees. Please contact info@stuartsoperahouse.org for any accommodations or questions you may have.
What is the venue like?
SnowFork Event Center is an outdoor event space. The grounds have a few crushed gravel or mulch paths but it’s mostly flat grassy areas. We strive to patch all the divots and smooth all the bumps, but the grounds inevitably have some holes and uneven surfaces.
Is there accessible parking?
Yes. On-site ADA accessible parking is included with the cost of a Weekend Pass.
Are there accessible toilets?
Yes, there are wheelchair-accessible port-a-johns on the festival grounds.
Are the paths wheelchair friendly?
The paths running through the grounds should be accessible for most wheelchairs and will provide an even walking surface for cane users and others with mobility issues.
Are service animals allowed?
Only legitimate service animals that are trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability, are welcome.
- NO emotional support animals or companion animals.
- Pets are not allowed and will be turned away.
Is there shade/a place to escape the sun?
Parts of the festival grounds are in full sun, so come prepared. Workshops will be primarily held under open-air tents and at our wooded, shaded Creekside Stage.
Are there ASL Interpreters?
If you would like to request an ASL interpreter or other accommodation to attend the festival, please contact info@stuartsoperahouse.org and we will try to work with you to find a solution.
