Governors Ball 2022: Covid-19 Restrictions

Since New York State lifted mask mandates in February and the festival is outdoors, you won’t have to wear a mask while you’re in attendance at the festival. That said, the Covid-19 alert level in NYC is ‘high’ so don’t feel shy if you feel like carrying a mask to the festival. We personally recommend these breathable cloth masks which can be worn for longer periods of time.

Buy: Henry Face Masks $17.50

You also won’t be requiring proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test to attend Governors Ball like you did last year.

Governors Ball 2022: Bag Policy

Governors Ball has a pretty strict bag policy, so make sure you don’t carry your tote or backpack to the event. Either carry a clear ‘see through’ bag (no larger than 12″ x 6” x 12”) or a small clutch style bag (no larger than 4.5″ x 6.5″). Clear bags are better because you can store more in them — like your phone, portable charger, empty water bottle and extra mask. But, if you want the least amount of weight on you while you dance, stick to a low-maintenance clutch bag.

If you’re worried you have neither of these bags, here are a few you can shop.

Governors Ball: Activations And Experiences

Governors Ball is packed with fun activations and experiences this year, including a Gray Whale Gin activation, featuring cocktails inspired by the “blue mind,” a scientific notion that when submerged (or near) water, people feel more at peace, happier, and more creative.
