Officials at the Illinois State Fair Friday night announced that attendees to all Grandstand and Multi-Purpose Arena concerts and events, must wear a mask regardless of vaccination status, due to the rise in COVID cases.

The Fair added that those holding “Standing Room Only” tickets for the Grandstand track at concerts, must either show a vaccination card, or get a COVID test at one of 6 Illinois Department of Public Health booths on the Fairgrounds to then obtain a Wrist Pass showing they’ve tested negative.

Fair officials said these measures are being taken due to the spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.
