For Immediate Release: Tuesday, October 19, 2021
If you have been wanting a night out but want to make sure that you, your children, and your friends all stay safe, there are several Silver Spring venues and entertainment sites that require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test for entry. You can feel safe in Silver Spring’s Arts & Entertainment District for a night out on the town.

“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,” said Silver Spring Regional Services Center Director Jacob Newman. “The Silver Spring Arts & Entertainment district has weekly farmers markets, festivals, breweries, restaurants, and a whole variety of arts offerings to enjoy. There is something safe and fun for every member of the family to enjoy.”
The AFI Silver Theatre, which later this month is showing a Film Noire Festival, a Silent Film Showcase, and Halloween on Screen festival with classic Universal monster movies like “Frankenstein,” “Dracula,” “Suspiria,” and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” requires proof of vaccine or a negative COVID-19 PCR test so that you can be safe in the company of fellow movie goers.
At The Fillmore Silver Spring, all shows require attendees to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result within 72 hours of the event or proof of a full COVID-19 vaccination. Live performances have returned most nights of the week, with upcoming performances by Princess Nokia, Toosii, and Bad Religion.
