ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

To protect the safety and comfort of our attendees, artists, staff and venue partners –– OffBeat will be implementing the following COVID-19 requirements for entry into our 2021 Festival:

2. If you are unvaccinated, you must present proof of a negative PCR or Rapid Diagnostic test performed at a testing center or lab within 48 hours of attendance. For example, 3 Day ticket holders may be tested on Wednesday, September 29^th or after for their negative test results to be honored on all festival days.

After proof of documentation has been provided, you will receive a “pre-check” wristband that is to stay on your wrist, like your festival wristband, for the day(s) you’re attending. Please be advised that our health and safety requirements are subject to CDC guidelines and federal, state and local requirements including mask wearing, social distancing and capacity regulations. This information will continue to be updated as we get closer to the festival, so please monitor our social media channels and website for additional information. Should these protocols change, we will update the situation as soon as possible.

COVID PRE-CHECK PROCESS

OffBeat will have a convenient location where all attendees must go to have their required proof of vaccination or negative test results checked prior to receiving their festival wristbands. Location(s) for this process will be announced prior to the event on this page and through our social media channels. PLEASE NOTE: This will be a required first step for anyone who wishes to attend the festival regardless of whether they are a multi-day festival wristband holder or just wish to attend a single venue on a single day. All attendees must have “pre-check” proof prior to arrival at any of our venues. We will have additional information for this process in the coming weeks.
