FAQs

The King Center, with Eastern Florida State College and ASM Global, has made the decision to review our safety policies, including masking, on a show-by-show basis determined by the show promoter or presenter. Our guests should review the specific policy in place for each individual show as determined by the promoter as it is listed on the show listing on our Schedule of Events page.

For most shows, the use of masks is optional and at the discretion of individual patrons.

The King Center team has evaluated every aspect of the guest experience. Using VenueShield, ASM Global’s comprehensive protocols, the King Center is ready for your visit. Learn more about VenueShield.
