We are glad to see in-person events return, and we want to keep them happening. The policies below help us keep musicians, volunteers and audiences safe and healthy. We appreciate your patience as we adapt to this changing situation.

For the Festival, we will follow CDC recommendations for York County, PA at the time of the festival.

Currently, that means:

• Vaccination NOT required for admission
  Negative test result NOT required for admission
  Guests may choose to mask at any time
• Mask-wearing is ENCOURAGED indoors as a courtesy to others but not required
• Mask-wearing is REQUIRED at Contra Dance and Bal Folk Dance events, at the request of those dance communities
• If you have symptoms, have tested positive, or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, please wear a mask or stay home to protect others.

SFMS is committed to creating a festival that is as safe as possible for visitors, volunteers and artists. Advance ticket purchasers will be notified of policy updates, and the policy will be posted here.
