MODIFICATIONS FOR COVID

Charlie’s Ale Garden will follow all public health guidelines, and will also implement some key modifications to help minimize the risk of COVID transmission:

The entire event will be held outdoors (with a rain date of Sunday, October 17, from 5:00 – 10:00 PM).
Capacity has been reduced from 2019 levels to allow for more space.
All attendees must show proof of COVID vaccination or a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours of the event.

FREE COVID TESTING AVAILABLE ON OCTOBER 13

Through a partnership with Union County, a free COVID testing site will be operating on Wednesday, October 13, at the South Avenue train station lot from 4:00 - 6:00 PM. While testing is not required for vaccinated individuals to attend Charlie’s Ale Garden, event organizers highly encourage every attendee to take advantage of this testing opportunity in order to provide an additional measure of community protection. The testing site, which will also offer COVID vaccinations, will be open to the public.

Westfield has a high vaccination rate, at 74% of our entire population, and 94% of adults! As we organize this event and take all of the appropriate public health precautions, we are of course also mindful of the role the Delta variant is playing and that everyone’s personal risk tolerance level varies. For those who want to participate in the ale garden, let’s continue to do our part and look out for one another by getting tested as an extra layer of protection for all AddamsFesters.

ENTERTAINMENT

Music will be provided by a line-up of local bands, all chosen through a public call for submissions to Westfield residents.

In addition, an outdoor game area with a variety of activities of fun arcade games will be presented by Wonder, a new on-demand dining experience that brings dishes from some of the best chefs and restaurants from across the country to customers’ doorstep, now available in Westfield and other nearby towns.

These tickets will go on sale on Thursday, October 7, at 8:00 PM, with a limit of two per household. The ticketing team reserves the right to cancel any orders that do not present a verifiable Westfield address or those that exceed the household maximum.
