Please note: masks are required at all FA Chicago locations regardless of vaccination status.

Your health and safety continue to be our top priority. Based on updated guidance from the CDC and CDPH recommending that all people over the age of 2 wear a mask indoors regardless of vaccination status, we have updated our mask policy accordingly.

Thank you again for your understanding and support as we work together to find the safest way forward. We are grateful to have such an amazing community here at First Ascent.
