COVID-19 Protocol: We are working closely with the State Fair of
Texas and the City of Dallas to understand all COVID-19 restrictions that
may impact our Pavilion and samplers. All businesses must comply with
all requirements related to COVID-19 and public health and we will keep
you posted as information becomes available.
No Show: The GO TEXAN Pavilion is an all-weather event, and your
porch must be staffed at all times, regardless of weather. If you are not
present for longer than 30 minutes during Porch operating hours, you
will be considered a no-show and charged a $100 penalty per shift.
Any business who is a no-show as described above may be ineligible for
future TDA events.
