We will be following social distancing guidelines by implementing the following:

• Tasting stations will be more spread out, and located on both the north and south sides of the market
• Additional seating will be available to encourage guests to get their food and then find a seat away from other groups
• One-way flow of traffic to decrease crossing paths with others
• Floor decals to help guests maintain six feet of distance
• Guests will be asked to wear masks when not actively eating and drinking

All event proceeds benefit the Corporation for Findlay Market’s entrepreneurship programs, local food initiatives and beautification at and around the market.
