Most of the arts and entertainment venues in downtown Silver Spring are now open to patrons, as long as they follow each venue’s protocol regarding vaccines, masking and other requirements.

Here are examples from some of the major venues:

AFI Silver Theatre requires proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test

The Fillmore Silver Spring requires attendees at all shows to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result within 72 hours of the event or proof of a full COVID-19 vaccination

The Black Box Theater requires proof of vaccination from guests, and

The Montgomery College Cultural Arts Center requires vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test.

“Other venues requiring vaccination or proof of vaccination for eligible patrons (or staff if working with children) include Roundhouse Education Center, Maryland Youth Ballet, Create Arts, Akhmedhova Ballet, GBYM, Arts on the Block, Clancyworks, and Levine Music,” according to a press release.

“I am really pleased so many entertainment venues in Silver Spring are offering options to people who are eager to resume pre-pandemic activities but are wary of exposing their family and neighbors to COVID-19,” Jacob Newman, Silver Spring Regional Services Center director, said in the release.

The county also maintains a current list of venues and their requirements online.
