Yes. We’re constantly monitoring local COVID guidance and developments in San Diego, as well as the state of California, and right now, the outlook is that we can host a safe event at PETCO Park. Neither San Diego nor California has any restrictions on events at the moment.
The venue is outdoors and we’ve kept capacity levels per session very low, despite the state of California not requiring us to do so. Maximum capacity at each session will be 33% of the venue’s legal capacity. Right now California doesn’t have any capacity limitations on venues.
In addition, we’ll be taking some additional safety measures, such as a touchless ingress and egress process, QR code menus, and socially distanced line queuing.
At this time we plan to hold the event as scheduled. The safety and health of our staff, vendors, breweries, and attendees is the top priority. In addition to following local regulations, we are implementing additional safety protocols to provide a safe environment for everyone.

Should state and local regulations change between now and the festival we will revisit and adapt accordingly.
No breweries have pulled out. In fact, we’re fortunate to say it’s been the opposite. We continue to add new breweries who have decided to join us at the festival.
We’re following the guidance of San Diego and California health officials and it’s not a requirement right now. That said, things can change, so we’ll continue following the recommendations of local public health officials and abide by the policies they set forth.
Our current policy is that all ticket sales are final. Should state or local law require enforcement of vaccinations or other safety measures that were not planned for and impact the ability of ticket holders to legally attend the event, we will re-evaluate the policy at that time.
