Festivals and Other Multi-Day Large Gatherings: COVID-19 Planning Toolkit for Health Departments

CDC Festivals Toolkit_508

This toolkit aims to help health departments prevent the spread of COVID-19 at multi-day events that are expected to draw large numbers of people. It includes checklists, resources, and a case study that state and local health departments, event planners, vendors, and other partners can use to anticipate and plan for some of the challenges they could encounter.

For the purposes of this document, the term “festival” refers to any planned large gathering of people that lasts more than one day. Examples include music festivals, food festivals, harvest festivals, and state and county fairs. Of particular concern are numerous events with at least 20,000 attendees planned in U.S. areas with substantial and high levels of COVID-19 transmission.
