ILLfest is actively monitoring COVID-19 in the local community alongside community partners and under the guidance of local health officials. At this time, we are not requiring guests to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative test result. 

Alongside these measures, strongly encourage all individuals to wear a mask when social distancing is not possible regardless of vaccination or test status. If you are a high-risk individual it is recommended you do not attend any gathering with people outside of your household. 

To read more about City of Austin guidelines please visit https://www.austintexas.gov/page/covid-19-risk-based-guidelines.

We suggest that all guests get vaccinated before the event as it is the best way to protect yourself and others. To find more information on the Covid-19 vaccines and where to get them please visit https://www.austintexas.gov/covid19-vaccines. 

Remember to always be respectful of others personal space by giving each other distance when necessary and/or capable. 

ILLfest will have ample free water refilling stations onsite, as well as refillable water bottles available for purchase at our merchandise booth. Bars and food vendors will also be selling single-use water bottles, which you can recycle in our marked recycling areas. 

You are allowed and encouraged to bring your own water bottle or refillable hydration packs, but they must be empty. Event security will ask you to pour out any contents upon entry.

A note on headdresses and threatening messages: ILLfest is committed to a safe and inclusive event for its attendees. All guests and working members need to feel safe, comfortable and welcome.

In this spirit, ILLfest requests that American Indian headdresses be left at home. Out of respect for the community, it is inappropriate to wear headdresses outside of traditional ceremonies.

Additionally, while ILLfest supports diversity in signs, totems, and articles of clothing, words or images that threaten to harm others are not welcome at ILLfest.

ILLfest reserves the right to confiscate items deemed to be in violation of these policies at its discretion.

As a team, we look forward to our vibrant and creative ILLfam honoring these requests. Thank you for working alongside our safety teams, workers and ILLfest family to make event choices that support our inclusive mission.
