2021 Covid-19 Entry Requirements

In response to the growing threat of the delta variant, and in addition to the measures we already have in place, proof of full vaccination or proof of a negative Covid-19 test will now be required for all festival entry. This is an important safety precaution implemented to protect our festival attendees, staff, artists, vendors, volunteers and community members. This will be the first time that some participants attend a large event since early 2020, which is why these new safety protocols have been set above and beyond what the State of Colorado requires of our event.
