COVID-19 and the 2022 Festival

Brief Description

For the 2022 Falcone Festival, our host, Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, required all participants (competitors, judges, volunteers) to take and have a negative rapid COVID test, provided and supervised by Blue Lake personnel prior to attending any activity on the Blue Lake campus. This was mandatory and anyone with a positive response would not have been allowed to enter the camp and thus not allowed to participate in the Festival.

President's update: July 25, 2022

The Falcone Festival is excited to return to a live and in person event this year, and we are thankful to be back at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, our host site since the inception of the Festival.

Blue Lake has recently provided the Falcone Festival with details related to COVID guidelines and testing, so we want to be sure that participants know what to expect prior to travelling to the festival and upon arrival regarding your health status. Our goal is to provide a safe and healthy in-person festival, and to mesh in with regular camp activities which will be in full swing during the Falcone Festival. We feel that these protocols are a reasonable expectation, and trust that all will agree.

Competitors and participants are asked to review the Falcone Festival COVID Plan 2022 from the Blue Lake health director/administration. Included are expectations prior to your travel to the Festival, and expectations once you are on camp. Blue Lake has established locations and open times for each Festival participant to conduct a rapid test upon first arrival at camp.

So that all of the competitors, adjudicators, pianists, board members, and elves can fully take part in the Festival events, please be as careful as possible in the coming weeks to insure your good health. If any people happen to test positive for COVID just prior to, or while at the Festival, they will unfortunately be unable to compete/participate in the Falcone Festival events.

Thank you,

Philip Sinder
President, Falcone Festival
