This is a compilation of upcoming mask-required/universal masking events in the Northeast. The goal of this site is to promote safer and more accessible events that center wearing a mask -- one of our greatest tools for mitigating the spread of airborne diseases such as COVID-19. Please bookmark this page as it will be updated with any edits/additions throughout the month!

Please note: Fan-Club is not directly organizing these events. If you have any follow-up questions about a particular listing, please directly contact the organizer(s)! Attendees can also help shape what an event looks like through outreach and dialogue -— we all share responsibility for co-creating a safer space.

Lastly, Fan-Club uses platforms that actively divest from big tech. This is an intentional move on our part, though it may take a few more steps at times. We appreciate your support in sharing this list as well as the listserve, which will launch in November!!
