The name Equinox is drawn from the twice a year astronomical event when daytime and nighttime are of equal duration all over the world. Historically, the Fall Equinox was a time for harvest celebrations that united communities and involved people coming together to share the bounty from their fields. In that spirit, the Equinox event is a celebration of the ideals of kindness, sharing, and equal opportunity for all, symbolized through light.

While COVID-19 is still not fully behind us, amazing breakthroughs in vaccine technology has allowed every adult to now have access to safe vaccines. With many in our community vaccinated against COVID-19, and the number of vaccinated adults growing every day, we believe that by September 2021 the Baltimore community will be more than ready to enjoy a safe, outdoor event—especially after 18 months of social restrictions!

SAFETY MEASURES

To ensure a safe and enjoyable event for everyone, we are taking some precautionary measures for this year’s event:

❖ The main event activities will be outdoors. The Baltimore Museum of Industry features an outdoor pavilion, and we will be adding additional tented areas.
❖ Masks will be required when attendees are in the Baltimore Museum of Industry indoor spaces only.
❖ Pre-registration will be required for all attendees that will include vaccination verification.
❖ We are working hard to ensure those working the event, including SVDP staff, venue and catering employees, band members, photographers, and valet parking attendants will be vaccinated before the event date.
❖ Baltimore City requirements for reduced venue capacity will be observed if applicable.

We believe these measures are important safeguards that will allow us to hold an amazing, worry-free event for our guests. We recognize that not all people may decide to be vaccinated by our event date, but trust everyone understands the need for a vaccination requirement in order for us to create a safe event for all of our attendees.
