The health and safety of our community and participants is our greatest concern. We encourage wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and social distancing whenever possible.
In order to reduce the presence and severity of COVID-19 cases in our communities and in our nation, FirePony Creative Society, the legal and fiscal oversight body of Playa del Fuego, has adopted a policy of mandatory vaccination status for all attendees to safeguard the health of our participants and surrounding communities for PDF 2022.
All participants must present proof at the gate that they are Up To Date on their COVID-19 vaccinations as defined by the CDC at least fourteen (14) days prior to the event (May 12, 2022 or earlier with early entry).
Definitions for COVID-19 vaccination statuses can be found at Centers for Disease Control here:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html
Forms of proof of vaccination accepted are at the gate:
- Vaccination card
- Digital or hard copy of your vaccination card image
- Digital or printout of your vaccination card as supplied by some states
- Printout of your vaccination status from health providers or state databases
By attending PDF you are accepting all health risks associated with COVID-19 and all variants.
Please be mindful that the gate does not always have cell reception, so bring a printed or locally saved digital copy of your proof of vaccination. All forms of proof must contain your full legal name, vaccine manufacturer, vaccine lot information, and date(s) administered.
Participants without proof will not be admitted to the event, no exceptions.
Falsifying or creating a fake vaccine card will result in ejection from the event and being permanently banned from attending or participating in future FirePony events, including PDF, Constellation, and any event under the Community Art and Civic Engagement umbrella.
FirePony will re-evaluate the COVID landscape in May 2022 to determine if additional protocols, such as proof of a negative COVID test, will be required for entry.
The FirePony board reserves the right to modify this policy at any time.
Currently, vaccinations are not available for children under the age of 5. It is our hope this vaccination will be approved with time for vaccination prior to PDF; however, if it is not, admittance of unvaccinated children will not be allowed. While we would hate to burn without our little ones, we believe Civic Responsibility guides us to require vaccinations for entry.
FirePony and PDF are committed to safety at our events and will continue to monitor the latest developments. FirePony and PDF will follow all local, state, and federal guidelines at the time of our events.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this ever-evolving situation.
