THE KEYSTONE NEIGHBOURHOOD COMPANY COVID-19 UPDATE

KNC Commitment to Safety for the Summer 2021 Event Season

In light of the concerns surrounding COVID-19, the Keystone Neighbourhood Company would like you to know of our commitment to safety.  The health and safety of our employees and guests in response to COVID-19 is a priority.  We are following all Summit County and State Environmental Health Guidelines and Public Health Orders.  You can review them here.

COVID SAFE EVENTS – OVERALL MEASURES TAKEN TO ADDRESS SAFETY 

It is the overall goal of the KNC to bring events back to life in a safe and responsible way.  Below is a bulleted list of measures being taken at each festival and events throughout the summer to address the spread of COVID-19.  We have made the following changes and protocols to prevent the spread.  We encourage everyone who is eligible to get the COVID-10 vaccine.

KEYSTONE EVENT CHANGES / ADDITIONS:

  • There is an overall reduced capacity at all of our events. The festivals will allow 1,000 – 2,000 ticketed attendees per day.
    • This allows for people to remain at a safe distance and prevent crowding or large gathering.
  • The attendee cap of 1,000 – 2,000 people is a conservative number of attendees allowing for the flow of day visitors and non-event attendees to still pass through the village without stressing capacity.
  • There will be a longer festival check-in timeframe and larger check-in space will be used to increase spacing between guests as well as ventilation capabilities.
  • Festival glassware will be filled with disposable sample cups *if mandated
  • There is a new Keystone Festival event layout and attendee flow
  • The KNC is placing multiple stages instead of one main stage – 4 Micro Stages – to reduce crowds from gathering
  • Designated food / alcohol service pods
  • Designated eating / drinking zones
  • Clean Teams added to the volunteer base for each festival.  Teams of 2 in each of the four zones cleaning and wiping surfaces throughout the day.
  • Professional cleaning teams will be employed by the Keystone Neighbourhood for each event
  • Increase in handwashing stations in the village
  • Increased sanitation stations throughout the village
  • COVID Safety signage – messaging placed throughout the festival grounds
  • Increase in tables to allow for designated places for people to eat and drink
  • The Keystone Neighbourhood asks if you do not feel well please do not come to one of our events.
  • There is a flexible refund policy on all event tickets

ENHANCED CLEANING AND SANITIZATION THROUGHOUT RIVER RUN VILLAGE AT KEYSTONE:

  • High-touch surfaces will be frequently cleaned and disinfected with EPA-approved products that kill the COVID-19 virus.
  • Hand sanitizing stations will be provided throughout the River Run Village. Frequent hand washing is required of employees.
