The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival COVID Safety Protocols

A Safety First Approach

The safety, comfort, and well-being of our artists, attendees, volunteers and staff is our top priority!

We have worked in conjunction with national and state health guidelines; festival & event trade associations; medical professionals and local government to create a comprehensive safety plan that is intended to mitigate risks as much as possible so we may gather and enjoy the art festival.

Attendee Experience

We believe strongly that the arts should be accessible to those who wish to enjoy them and so we are doing everything in our power to provide a safe festival experience. We encourage you to read through this page to determine your own level of comfort before attending the 2023 arts festival.
