2023 national cornbread festival
entry & attendance policy

Covid-19 warning

The Festival may take or recommend enhanced health and safety measures for you, its vendors, its performers, and its volunteers. If instructions related to health and safety are posted during the Festival, you must follow them while in attendance. In the event that preventative health measures become necessary, details of such measures will be communicated as early as possible and will be posted on the Festival website and social media outlets. 

Any public space where people are present creates an inherent risk of exposure to COVID–19, which is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. Senior citizens and attendees with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable according to the Centers for Disease Control. 

You voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID–19 by attending the Festival. We should all work together to help keep each other healthy.
