Effective April 16, 2023, Hollywood Ballroom will no longer require proof of Covid vaccination for any of our events.
This decision has been reached after careful consideration and collaboration with our management team and our customers. The primary reasons are:
1) According to this website
https://montgomerycountymd.gov/covid19/data/ all health indicators are “Low”;
2) The Ballroom has an excellent air-handling system equipped with sterilizers and MERV-13 filters that run constantly;
3) Dancers can still wear masks as they wish, and free hand sanitizers remain available.
