Audio Described Events
Nextfest 2025 will feature several Audio Described performances. During an audio described performance, those in need of this service will receive an audio commentary via a headset, performed by an audio describer, alongside the dialogue and action of the performance through a headset. The audio describer will provide a visual description and describe details such as character descriptions, set and prop descriptions, body language, expressions, action and the quality of movement to help create a clearer idea of who is on stage and what is happening. The commentary will be between the dialogue or other sound effects so that it can still be clearly understood and no important information is missed.

Getting to the roxy
Road Closure
The intersection of 124 Street and Stony Plain Road is currently closed between April 21- June 16, 2025 due to construction on the Valley Line West LRT. This full closure is impacting traffic flow in the area. There is a convenient detour set up, signs will guide you in the right direction.
Parking
Street parking is available in the immediate area, along 124th Street (north and south), as well as on 106th and 108th avenues, east and west from 124th Street, in addition to further into the neighbourhood to the east, west, and south. Note the signage to determine if your parking spot is free, paid, or has timing restrictions.
Paid parking is available in Impark Lot 465 at 10831 124th Street.
There is no parking for Theatre Network patrons directly behind The Roxy; these spots are not ours and are reserved for other businesses and residences.
Please be kind and respect our neighbours by only parking in designated public spaces, and by keeping noise to a minimum in the later hours when returning to your vehicle.
Parking isn’t always easy to find, so we encourage you to take transit, carpool, rideshare, or ride a scooter when you can.
DATS – DEDICATED ACCESSIBLE TRANSIT SERVICE
DATS is a door-to-door public transportation service for Edmontonians who cannot use regular transit for some or all of their travel needs, due to a physical or cognitive impairment.
DATS is a shared-ride public transportation service operating within the City of Edmonton corporate limits. Wheelchair lift-equipped vehicles, minivans, accessible minivans, taxis, and vans are used to provide DATS service. Vehicles used are clearly identified as “DATS” vehicles.
DATS clients must apply, meet eligibility requirements, and be registered before using DATS.
DATS is administered and scheduled by the DATS section of ETS (Edmonton Transit Service). The DATS budget is supported primarily by the City of Edmonton tax levy. The cost of the service is partially offset with fares collected from the DATS users. Trips are scheduled to make maximum use of this shared ride service while staying within budget.
All passengers must be registered with DATS before booking trips. For more information, call the DATS Customer Care Centre.
To book DATS please visit https://www.edmonton.ca/ets/dedicated-accessible-transit-service
