For individuals who have not fully received a COVID-19 vaccine, wearing a face covering remains mandatory under the law. Even if fully vaccinated, face coverings are an additional tool to limit transmission of COVID-19 and vaccinated individuals may also wish to wear a face covering inside the building.
Tickets are no longer required for the event. Seating for guests will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.
