Cedar Cultural Center to require proof of vaccine or negative test for concerts

The Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis announced Tuesday that it will require guests to provide proof of being fully vaccinated or a recent negative test for COVID-19.

The Cedar said the new policy will go into effect on Friday. A COVID-19 vaccination card that shows a vaccine series completed at least 14 days before the event or proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the event will be required for entry.

Proof of vaccine or a negative test can come in the form of a physical vaccination card, a printed out negative test result or a digital document on a mobile device, such as a photo of a vaccination card.

Anyone who doesn’t meet the requirements under the new policy is eligible for a refund.

The Cedar is the latest music venue in the Twin Cities to require vaccines or proof of a negative test for all concertgoers. First Avenue and its associated venues — 7th Street Entry, Turf Club, Fine Line Café, The Fitzgerald Theater and Palace Theatre — announced such a policy last week.
