First, some navigation info: </div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
If traveling to the Festival site, the closest drop off point to the Accessibility Tent would be 12<sup>th</sup> and Madison Drive. You would want to get out on the South side of Madison Drive and head directly South on the sidewalk that runs North / South
towards the center of the National Mall. Travel down the sidewalk about 100 or so feet and the Accessibility Tent will be to your right. It is flanked on either side by our Volunteer Tent and Media tent. All these tents are staffed by Festival staff and
volunteers, so anyone you encounter should be able to point you toward the Accessibility Tent. </div>
