Denver is following the State of Colorado's Safer at Home strategy, which balances public health safety measures while allowing for economic activity.
Indoor events are limited to 25% capacity or 50 people, whichever is less and not including staff, in the City and County of Denver (Safer Level Orange). For indoor unseated events, capacity is determined utilizing the Social Distance Calculator which requires 12’ of distancing. Seated indoor events must ensure 6’ of social distancing between parties but the calculator is not needed.
Similar to indoor events, outdoor events are restricted to no more than 25% capacity or 75 people, whichever is less and not including staff.
For outdoor unseated events, capacity is determined utilizing the Social Distance Calculator which requires 12’ of distancing per activity or area. Seated outdoor events must ensure 6’ of social distancing between non-household members but the calculator is not needed.
