The health and safety of our guests and the general public is our primary concern. As such, we continue to carefully monitor the daily changes in Los Angeles with COVID-19. We will require that all of our event attendees be fully vaccinated, proof of vaccination will be required on site, masks will need to be worn at all times except when eating or drinking, and we will strictly adhere to all state and local Covid safety protocols.

We will make additional Covid health and safety determinations in the coming weeks and will detail those updates here and through direct communications with our guests.
