Lake in the Hills Rockin' Rib Fest Face Mask Ban

The Rockin' Rib Festival in Lake in the Hills has implemented a ban on certain face coverings, such as ski masks and balaclavas, citing concerns about individuals using them to conceal their identities for malicious purposes. This decision follows chaos at a previous carnival in the village, leading to increased security measures for upcoming events. While decorative masks and those worn for health reasons are permitted, the prohibition aims to enhance safety and security for attendees. Additionally, Liverpool's music festival, On The Waterfront, has revealed a list of banned items including camp chairs and glass perfume bottles, emphasizing strict regulations for the event.
