Health & Safety

[updated May 2025]

Your health and safety is important to us as you engage with our activities and we make every effort to ensure the comfort and safety of our audience, staff, crew and artists. 

FFDN values the health and safety of our guests and respects every individual’s choice to wear a mask while in public. We recommend you wear a mask if:

• You are at higher risk for illness
• You have been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19 or someone who has shown COVID-19 symptoms
• You are recovering from COVID-19 

FFDN and our partner venue will ensure the cleanliness of all spaces as much as possible. Hand sanitizer and masks will be available on site at the venues which patrons are welcome to help themselves to.

Ultimately, every individual’s health and safety is important, and we strive to create an environment in which everyone has agency, to make personal choices. It is not possible for an organization to ensure that no one attending the festival will not test positive for COVID-19, or any other illness.

Respectful Workplace

FFDN maintains respectful workplace practices where discriminatory and harassing behavior is not tolerated. Individuals engaged with FFDN, including artists, staff, contractors, and venue partners are expected to follow FFDN’s Code of Conduct.
