The health and welfare of carnival employees and guests on the midway is our top priority in reopening our industry. The procedures and mitigation strategies presented below have been recognized by our industry for protecting carnival employees and guests from potential exposure to COVID-19. By minimizing contacts, promoting social distancing, and increasing cleaning protocols and sanitization, we can welcome guests back to the midway experience.

The principles, considerations, and recommendations outlined within this document include the optimal elements of mitigation plans from amusement parks, carnivals, fairs, and festivals that successfully reopened with operational restrictions during the summer of 2020 following guidance from the CDC alongside state and local health organizations. They are presented to provide approaches for you to consider and build upon in your operating plans as you collaborate with your local partners and their Health Departments in preparation for the 2021 season. Your plan should be adjusted, relaxed and/or eliminated based on current requirements.
