Advanced
sales only. No tickets will be sold at the gate. Note, if you plan to
stay overnight, you must also purchase a camping or cabin pass.
The fest will take place at its traditional location, Camp Hidden Valley (at Deer Creek Preserve ),
a wooded, 200-acre property about 45 minutes north of Baltimore that
hosts everything from weddings to children’s summer camps. Attendees may
drive from home, camp, or stay in nearby hotels or private rentals.
Check the website for any cabin options that may be available, but many
are already sold out. Ticket holders should watch their emails for
important updates about the fest.
Event
organizer M. A. Spiro says that this will be the last time she will do
the fest. “I hope people come out for it. The bands need it. The fans
need it. The production people need it. But one thing I learned after
this last year is that I personally do not have to be the one to do
these events any more. It’s a ton of work, a lot of risk financially and
emotionally, and I am just not interested in carrying that mantle
forward any longer. I would love it if someone created a new camping
music fest nearby that I could go to and enjoy. But Shadow Woods as
people have come to know it will be laid to rest after 2021.”
Organizers are taking COVID-19 precautions seriously. They state:
We
are requiring all attendees show proof of vaccination for Covid-19 at
registration. If this is not possible, rapid COVID testing will be
available for a fee upon entry. Covid-19 prevention protocols will be in
effect throughout the weekend, including masking, hand washing, and
physical distancing in crowded situations and will reflect the local,
state and federal recommendations at the time of the fest. The fest will
have trained medical professionals on site and if anyone tests positive
for COVID or has any indicative symptoms such as a fever, coughing,
chills, extreme fatigue, etc., we ask that you STAY HOME or leave the
fest immediately, even if it is last minute. Everyone will be required
to sign the typical camp liability waiver that we have used every year,
but it will also include additional language and questions related to
COVID to facilitate contract tracing, should that become necessary. We
will be following whatever federal and local recommended protocols and
guidelines for COVID safety that are in place at the time of the fest.
All this is subject to change based on the current situation with the
pandemic.
Rapid
Covid-19 testing will be provided by The CrewWorks based in Baltimore,
MD. The CrewWorks is an event crew services company that added its own
Covid-19 testing laboratory through the State of Maryland in order to
offer reduced cost testing to ensure that the entertainment industry can
go back to work safely.
Send an email to crew@thecrewworks.com with the word “SW21” in the subject line and copy Mary Spiro at shadow.woods.llc@gmail.com and
you will be sent instructions on how to reserve and pre-pay for a test.
Testing cost is $25 in advance, or $35 at the gate. Tests purchased are
non-refundable, but they are transferable.
