For the safety and security of all attendees, the St. Simon festival has adopted a policy regarding face coverings in line with current Indiana law.

Any individual found in violation of this policy may be removed from premises and may be subject to legal penalties as defined by Indiana Code.
All Festival attendees are expected to follow ALL safety policies and the guest code of conduct, including:
The St. Simon Festival follows ADA guidelines regarding service animals. A service animal is one that is trained to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities.
Service animals must remain on a leash or in a harness and under the control of the owner at all times.
Service animals are not permitted on rides or attractions, and may be restricted in certain areas due to safety concerns.
ADA regulations state that the specific work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to a personʼs disability. Dogs and other animals whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals according to the ADA. Therefore, emotional support animals are not permitted at the St. Simon Festival.
TO REPORT EMERGENCIES, A SAFETY CONCERN OR REQUEST MEDICAL ASSISTANCE WHILE VISITING THE ST. SIMON FESTIVAL, PLEASE NOTIFY A ST. SIMON FESTIVAL REPRESENTATIVE.
St. Simon Festival representatives and Public Safety Officials have been trained to intervene when deemed necessary and to use their best discretion to help ensure that attendees who ignore the Code of Conduct do not interfere with other attendeesʼ ability to enjoy an event. Attendees who violate the Code of Conduct, or prevent others form enjoying the Festival may be subject to ejection without refund and, to the extent their conduct constitutes a violation of law, may be subject to arrest.
