First, and foremost, all guests aged five and up must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with a “vaccine approved or authorized for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or World Health Organization (WHO)”, or provide “proof of a negative antigen or PCR COVID-19 test administered by a medical provider for admission.” Attendees presenting a negative COVID-19 result must have had the test performed no more than one day prior to the event.

A mask or appropriate face covering is strongly recommended for all in attendance. Even those with proof of full vaccination. For those who are unvaccinated, mask use is required at all times. At the discretion of event guests, some autograph tables and panels may require a mask, regardless of your vaccination status.

All attendees are expected to maintain proper hygiene, adhere to signage and direction from event staff, and to respect the personal boundaries of those around them.
