Please follow and respect all safety procedures instituted by Kennywood, our host for the event. The park requires that those who are not fully vaccinated wear face coverings (properly over both the mouth and nose) at all times while in the park, except when actively eating. You can view the park's safety procedures here.
We realize
that many of you attending may be seeing some of your ACE friends for the first
time in quite a while. We know that you'll be happy to see one another, but
given health concerns, we suggest that you follow common protocols for health
safety. Not everyone is fully vaccinated and everyone has different comfort
levels in terms of being in close proximity to others. Please be respectful of
other members and allow a safe distance between one another, unless it's made
clear by all involved that closer proximity is welcomed.
Registered KennyKon XXXII attendees will receive an email shortly before the
event that may contain additional details regarding the park's current health
safety protocols and the procedures that event organizers will be implementing
to ensure that the event is comfortable and safe for everyone.
While getting to Kennywood on area roadways is always interesting, a
long-term closure the Kenmawr Bridge (over railroad tracks) along a
common route to the park (South Braddock Avenue to the Rankin
Bridge), is making it an even bigger challenge. This inconvenience
primarily only affects those using I-376 to access the park.
Visitors using the official event host hotel, the Holiday Inn
Express at The Waterfront, will not be impacted by this.
The official posted detours likely won't be the quickest ways to the park. Event attendees are strongly encouraged to use GPS via Goggle Maps, Waze or some other app on a connected device that utilizes real-time traffic conditions.
Attendees arriving on I-376 eastbound (from downtown, airport.
points west and points north) should use Exit 74 Squirrel
Hill/Homestead, follow signs toward Homestead and use GPS to cross
the Homestead Grays Bridge and turn left onto Route 837 toward
Kennywood.
Attendees arriving on I-376 westbound (from Monroeville and points
east) may use Exit 77, Edgewood/Swissvale, and circumvent the bridge
closure by driving through Swissvale's business district
(Monongahela Avenue), and using GPS to find their way to the Rankin
Bridge. Drivers from the east on I-376 may also choose Exit 78B
Wilkinsburg, make a U-turn at the first traffic light to follow
Route 30 east, and use GPS to access go through Braddock to access
the Rankin Bridge.
Again, rather than simply choosing a route, it is recommended that attendees use a reliable connected GPS to find the quickest way to Kennywood!
