Currently, WGRZ reports guests will be asked to wear masks and social distance, but recent changes by New York State based on Center for Disease Control guidelines may change policies.

Organizers say they will have hand sanitizer stations located throughout the event space.

New York State is adopting the Center for Disease Control's most recent guidance regarding the use of masks and social distancing for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Yesterday, County Executive Mark Poloncarz said Erie County health officials would not be enforcing policies in businesses, instead leaving enforcement of recommended policies to the individual establishments themselves.

Many major retailers are now announcing what their maks policies will be, including Tops Friendly Markets, Trader Joe's, Wegmans, Target and more.
