** No Face Coverings Will Be Permitted On Festival Grounds During Summerfest **

After consulting with the Braidwood Police Department, we will be implementing a No Face Coverings Permitted On Festival Grounds policy for this year’s Summerfest.  This policy has been established out of an abundance of safety after consulting with other area law enforcement agencies and following lessons learned from other festivals which have taken place so far this year.
- Standard PPE medical masks which cover only the nose and mouth will still be allowed.
- Anyone found wearing a face covering which obscures their identity, other than a standard PPE medical mask, on festival grounds may be asked to leave.
- Many other area fairs and festivals have instituted similar policies out of an abundance of caution.

 

**Please Note**

No Unauthorized Vending, Soliciting, Peddling or Concession Sales Allowed On Braidwood Park District Grounds During The Festival.  All Vendors, Solicitors, Peddlers or Concession Vendors Must Be Registered And Approved By The Braidwood Lions Club.  Any Unauthorized Vendors, Solicitors, Peddlers or Concessioners Will Be Asked To Leave Park Grounds.

We are NOT accepting any additional food vendors at this time.

**NOTICE TO PET OWNERS**

For safety reasons, no pets will be allowed on festival grounds in the carnival midway area, food court, entertainment areas, flea market areas, parking lots or baseball field areas, regardless of size, temperament, or leash.  Only certified ADA service animals will be permitted.  Anyone found walking about the festival grounds will be asked to take their pets back home.

** NO SMOKING ALLOWED UNDER THE BINGO PAVILION **
