I understand that position @gman430. A lot of people in the middle of the street were not wearing masks or pulling them down and being sensible. The main benefit for having "required masks" was that a lot of the booths had art on "internal walls" where you would have to be in very close proximity to others if you wanted to see everything each artist had to offer. I didn't feel governed with an iron fist to wear my mask, but I pulled it on when I felt like it was warranted. Feels like there is just an expectation to be accommodating and reasonable.
All in all, seeing the art was worth the trade of the inconvenience of the mask, in my opinion.
