Social Distancing

All programming events will take place outside. This will allow everyone to maintain physical distancing of at least 6 feet. People from the same household or re-enactment group can be in groups together and don’t need to be 6 feet apart – just 6 feet away from other families/re-enactment groups. If re-enactors wish to social distance within their group, they will be afforded the space to do so.
We have limited the number of Vendors. This will allow the vendor tables to be spaced at least 6 feet apart.
The Great Hall (where vendors are located) will be well ventilated. The space has 3 floor-to-ceiling garage doors that will remain open during event operation hours.
The Traditional Viking Feast will take place outside, under a covered pavilion.

Mask & Face-Coverings

Anyone attending VikingsCon must have a mask or face-covering on prior to entering.
You will be required to wear a mask or face-covering when less than 6 feet apart from people or indoors.
You will be required to wear a mask or face-covering in spaces marked as Mandatory Mask Area.
The mask or face-covering must cover your nose and mouth.

Mandatory Mask areas:

The Great Hall (Vendor area)
Programming area

On July 29, Maryland's Gov. Hogan announced the expansion of the statewide masking order that has been in effect since April 18. Face coverings are now required in outdoor public areas, whenever it is not possible to maintain physical distancing. There are exceptions to this order. You can read the full order here.

Wear a mask if you can, but don't bully or shame those who cannot. The person with no mask may have a medical condition or might be a disabled person who is doing their best. If you see someone who does not have a mask:

DO NOT confront the person about not wearing a mask.
Maintain physical distancing of at least 6 feet.
Inform a member of the VikingsCon team.
