The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 231, Downtown Partners, The Oak View Group, and Siouxland District Health are excited to announce the addition of Sensory Friendly Spaces and an Accessible Viewing Area at the 2024 IBEW Holiday Lighted Parade. This year’s parade will be held on November 25th at 6:15 p.m. along 4th Street in downtown Sioux City.
A quiet zone will be identified inside the lobby and a designated sensory friendly space will be located in room 3 at the Sioux City Convention Center at 801 4th Street. Both spaces are designed to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for individuals with sensory sensitivities. These areas will offer a quieter environment with reduced noise and visual stimulation, allowing attendees to enjoy the parade in a comfortable setting.
“We are proud at Oak View Group and the Sioux City Convention Center to support the IBEW Holiday Lighted Parade by providing inclusive spaces for all members of our community to come and enjoy this holiday tradition.” said Oak View Group Representative, Chad Schmidt.
The Accessible Viewing Area, also located outside at the Sioux City Convention Center at the circle drive on 4th Street, will provide a designated space for individuals with disabilities to enjoy the parade with clear sightlines and ample space for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.
“We are committed to making the IBEW Holiday Lighted Parade an inclusive event for everyone in our community,” said Downtown Partners. “The addition of the Sensory Friendly Spaces and Accessible Viewing Area ensures that individuals with disabilities can fully participate in this beloved holiday tradition.”
The Sensory Friendly Spaces and Accessible Viewing Area are free and open to the public. Accessible parking is available in the lot across from the Sioux City Convention Center.
