Outdoor concert series will resume under community bandstands, in town squares, or near vineyards at local wineries. The venues are working with their local health departments and following state guidelines to ensure a safe experience for visitors to enjoy the show. It s wonderful to have events coming back. People need to get out and enjoy themselves, said Martha Starkey, executive director of the Wayne County Convention and Visitors Bureau. As more people feel comfortable being with family and friends, events will attract more visitors, which will result in a more successful event.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new guidelines on April 27 that state fully vaccinated people can ditch their masks outside in most instances except when attending a crowded, outdoor event like a live performance, parade, or sporting event. A person is fully vaccinated 14 days after receiving the final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
