The following policy applies to all events at Red Hot Blues & BBQ 2025. This policy supersedes other Capital Blues policies where they may diverge.

Masks optional

Masking for Red Hot Blues & BBQ 2025 is optional and not required. We will have limited quantities of masks on hand for attendees who would like to wear one.

If you test positive for covid, we ask that you go home immediately and email us for a refund.

If you feel sick at all or test positive…

We will reimburse full registration cost to anyone who tests positive for covid (or other similar infections), feels ill, or displays flu-like symptoms within 7 days prior to arrival. In such a case, please contact us at info@capitalblues.org as soon as possible.

We will generally consider a 100% refund of registration fees prior to checking in at the event or 50% after you’ve checked in.

Additional safety measures

Capital Blues will also take the following actions:

• Masks and hand sanitizer will be provided free-of-charge at check-in for all events.
• We will attempt to improve ventilation in all event spaces, including addition of fans and air filters where practical.

This policy may be updated as necessary.
