A Repository for COVID Conscious Living in Portland, Oregon
Masked Night at OMSI
June 22 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm PDT
June 22, 2025, 6-9PM
OMSI is pleased to host a night at the museum for those who are immunocompromised, a low-capacity evening, PPE masks required (N95 or KN95 only). In the main lobby, we will have a table offering free masks for all guests.
All guests, staff, security, etc., attending or working the event will be required to wear an N95 or KN95 mask with no valves or SIP valves, no matter your age, which will be provided for free in the main lobby if needed.
We kindly ask that young children who are unable to wear a mask not attend this event. We understand that young children are also immunocompromised but have decided to make this event masks required for everyone. We are exploring ways to include young children in future offerings.

Antibacterial stations are standing (seated on request) and also interactive with people. Volunteering is 5:30p-8:30p. Previous volunteers describe the experience as highly rewarding, since its mostly grateful folks thanking you over and over. If attending is overwhelming for any reason, this is a spectacular way to still be there and meet people. To volunteer, please send an email to amanda@covidinfopdx.com with the subject: volunteer.
