Big Top will remain attentive to the most current recommendations of the CDC and other health experts, and are very optimistic that with a sound safety plan in place, we will be able to host shows this summer in a modified fashion.  This will include limiting the seating capacity both inside and outside of the tent.  Our safety plans include:

• A limited-capacity seating chart that keeps each ticketed group socially distanced from other ticket buyers and from the performer’s airfield,
• A sanitization and cleaning plan for all areas of the tent, grounds, bathrooms, etc.,
• Rules surrounding mask wearing for all areas,
• The addition of hand sanitizing stations throughout the grounds,
• A Required agreement to adhere to our Covid-19 safety guidelines by all ticket buyers and performers,
• Maximize natural ventilation with open sidewalls, upward airflow, and the shell structure’s electric ventilation roof fans,
• Traffic patterns to keep crowds as dispersed as possible when entering, exiting and walking about the tent grounds, bathrooms & porta-pots, venue footprint and parking lots,
• A safe food & beverage plan from our partners at Mt. Ashwabay to keep people distanced and products sanitized.
