HardlyStrictlyBluegrass continues with drivebytruckers closing the BanjoStage more HSBFest info:
The festival would expand during the decade that followed, growing to extend over a full three days and include a special children's program for San Francisco elementary school students every year. While the festival's benefactor passed away in December of 2011, he left an endowment that would ensure that Hardly Strictly would continue for at least ten years following his death. San Francisco's Rec and Parks Department named the site of the festival Hellman's Hollow in his honor.
Among the items that will no longer be allowed at the festival are hard alcohol, hard-sided coolers, large backpacks, high-backed chairs and glass containers. Additionally, Hardly Strictly has instituted new bag requirements similar to other paid music festivals, football stadiums and arenas. Only clear plastic backpacks will be allowed into the park and even small soft-sided coolers will only be allowed if being used for medical or child care needs.
While there will not be any COVID restrictions as far as vaccine or masking requirements at the festival, HSB is still encouraging all attendees to wear masks -- especially when in close quarters -- practice distancing and maintain hand hygiene. Individuals should not attend if you have tested positive for COVID or had close contact with someone with COVID in the five days before the festival. The festival recommends attendees get vaccinated and get tested ahead of the festival.
