Get a shot for free admission to the Sonoma County Summer Fun Fest

Anyone looking to get vaccinated from Covid-19 can get free admission and a free ride ticket to Sonoma County’s Summer Fun Fest by getting a vaccine shot at the Jockey Club in Santa Rosa, county officials said Monday.

The festival starts Wednesday and lasts through Aug. 8, excluding Monday and Tuesday, at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds located at 1350 Bennett Valley Road in Santa Rosa.

The festival will be a version of the typical summer county fair, county officials said. Each day will be limited to a certain number of people though and mandates will be in place to protect people from Covid-19.

County Health Officer Dr. Sundari Mase said in a statement:

“COVID-19 and its variants are on the rise, including in Sonoma County.”

So, people will be asked to wear a mask at the festival, she said. Social distancing may be required.

The Jockey Club is also located at 1350 Bennett Valley Road. Festival tickets received for getting the vaccine can be used any day of the festival.

Vaccinations will be given between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. each festival day. Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson vaccines will be available, and vaccinations may be given to people 12 years old and older.

Walk-ins are welcome and appointments can be made at myturn.ca.gov. Neither citizenship nor proof of health insurance is necessary to get vaccinated.
