This change eliminates face-covering requirements, physical distancing, and capacity limits for outdoor events. View Denver's current Public Health Order online (check back often for updates).

Survey results showed that a small percentage of respondents were not at all ready to attend events regardless of the COVID mitigation measures in place, but 90% of respondents said they were ready right now or expect to be ready by summer to attend at least some types of outdoor events.

While COVID mitigation plans for outdoor events are no longer required, OSE is encouraging event organizers to maintain some COVID mitigation measures to support staff, volunteers and attendees during this transitional time. The Denver Department of Public Health and Environment (DDPHE) suggests that those who are not yet vaccinated to continue to wear face masks and distance themselves from others. DDPHE encourages event organizers to continue to provide plentiful hand washing and sanitizing stations and to perform regular cleanings of common-use areas.
