“I am really pleased so many entertainment venues in Silver Spring are offering options to people who are eager to resume pre-pandemic activities but are wary of exposing their family and neighbors to COVID-19,” said Silver Spring Regional Services Center Director Jacob Newman. “The Silver Spring Arts & Entertainment district has weekly farmers markets, festivals, breweries, restaurants, and a whole variety of arts offerings to enjoy. There is something safe and fun for every member of the family to enjoy.”
