Venue officials will be taking a “dimmer-switch” approach to reopening, which translates into starting small and building capacity as restrictions continue to ease. Patrons will be required to wear a face covering and practice social distancing. Pod seating has been created to keep visitors as safe and comfortable as possible.

While the list of new practices is long a few of the improved safety measures include:

• The ability for guests to scan their own tickets.
• Clear Bag Policy
• Pod Seating
• Advance tickets must be purchased on-line.
• Transition to touch-free soap, hand sanitizer and paper towel dispensers.

Koka Booth Amphitheatre is owned by the Town of Cary and managed by ASM Global. Much of the re-opening procedures are derived from VenueShield, a comprehensive and best-in-class program, that will be deployed at more than 325 ASM Global facilities around the world, providing the highest level of cleanliness and safety, while inspiring consumer confidence, all in partnership with leading medical professionals, industry experts and public health officials.

For now, additional events will focus on local and regional talent, private rentals, Movie by Moonlight and Josh Cellars Jazz Series. As conditions continue to improve and restrictions are loosened Venue Management and Town staff will re-assess what events/shows make the most sense keeping safety a top priority. Advance tickets to all events must be purchased on-line.
