CAPITOL BEER FEST HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS

Safety is our TOP priority. Capitol Beer Fest is committed to hosting a safe event. To help ensure we can move forward, we’ve made the decision to require either proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test conducted no more than 72 hours OR a negative Antigen test conducted no more than one day before our gates open.

If you have not yet been vaccinated and would like to be, you’ll need to receive the single dose of Johnson and Johnson two weeks before the event.

If you are not fully vaccinated (booster not required), a negative COVID-19 PCR test result must be obtained within 72 hours OR a negative antigen test within 24 hours of our gates opening.

At this time, masks are advised but not required.

Capitol Beer Fest will have increased hand sanitizer stations on-site, additional cleaning crews in high-touch areas, and will be using disposable cups rather than our traditional reusable cup.

We thank you for your continued support and understanding. Live events are an important part of our community. Help us keep them fun, keep them going, and most importantly, let’s keep them safe for all of us.
