COVID SAFETY

TLDR: Bring your vaxxx record and your face mask! If you are feeling at all unwell, skip the party. It’s up to us to keep each other safe and healthy.

We commit to meeting or exceeding every city requirement to make all of our events as safe as possible for all that attend. Outdoor events such as our street fairs are lower risk, but despite all mitigation efforts, exposure to COVID-19 is an inherent risk in any location where people are present. 

Our board and staff have evaluated our ability to implement additional safety measures and have a plan for:

  • Vaccine checks of all attendees entering the gates

  • Touchless hand sanitizer

  • Hands-free drinking water dispensers throughout the fair

  • Providing masks at the gate

  • Creating more space for distancing, with expanded footprint and stage modifications

  • Department of Public Health (DPH) onsite for COVID-19 testing and vaccination

  • Requiring proof of vaccination for all staff and volunteers

  • COVID-19 testing information on our social media before and after the event

In past safety surveys we have done, the most popular mitigation suggestion was vaccine verification at our gates. We want to be transparent about the fact that since our event is on a public street, we don’t have full control over entrance to the fair, but we are committed to reducing risk. So, please bring a state/federally issued vaccine card, a legible photograph of your card, or digital vaccine record and matching ID to enter. Up to date vaccination (which includes booster(s), if eligible) is highly recommended – and boosters will be available at the DPH booth at the fair! Please see this page for guidance on what it means to be "up to date" on your vaccination. 

Mask guidelines will comply with all county/city guidelines. For San Francisco, that information can be found here. At this time, this means that masks are provided and recommended, especially in more crowded environments, but not required. We highly recommend k/n95 masks. These masks are specifically designed to protect the wearer and provide robust protection, even with one-way masking. There is substantial evidence suggesting that medical grade masks are significantly more protective than cloth masks, and k/n95 masks are more protective still. You can wear a cute cloth mask over your k/n95! When you are making decisions about mask use and attending in-person events in general, please weigh your individual risk factors (health conditions, unvaccinated or immunocompromised contacts, age, and so on) to take care of yourselves and those around you.
