The City of Chicago recently announced that anyone age 5+ will be required to show proof of full vaccination to dine indoors, go to gyms, or visit entertainment/recreation venues that serve food and beverages in Chicago. (Full details of the order can be found here.) ALL attendees of the Grand Chefs Experience will be required to show proof they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for admission, Field Museum staff will be verifying at the door.
Valid proof of vaccination consists of a valid photo ID (age 16+) and one of the following: vaccination card, photocopy of vaccination card, digital record or app, or printed record from a vaccine provider
The State of Illinois mask mandate remains in effect: everyone aged 2 and up MUST wear a face mask, except when actively eating and drinking. Six feet of physical distance should also be maintained between families or "pods".
We will update this information as/if the mandates evolve up to the event date. Currently, the Grand Chefs Experience is exclusively an in-person event. However, we always want to assess the needs of our community and attendees. Please reach out to Sarah Evans at 872-265-1004 or sevans@cff.org if you would be interested in a virtual component.
