Yes, we can now safely accommodate outdoor gatherings of up to 150 people as long as social distancing is followed.

How much event space do you have?

With 150,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, Foxwoods has plenty of room for physical distancing while allowing guests to safely reconnect for in-person events in line with local guidance. 

Are you offering any incentives?

Foxwoods is offering a number of flexible booking options and incentives for organizers looking to schedule events this year so guests can book with confidence. These include flexible attrition, minimums and cancellations and the complimentary use of digital signage within meeting spaces.

How will you encourage social distancing at meetings & events?

Given the size of Foxwoods, it is easy to socially distance from others. Guests will be directed to practice social distancing via floor markers in places where lines form, while using elevators and moving around the resort. During meetings and events, one person will be allowed per every six-foot table, or four people per every 72 in. round table. Areas of the property where social distancing isn’t feasible, including Valet, property shuttles, spas, gyms and pools, will be temporarily suspended until further notice. 

What safety and cleaning procedures will you have in place?

We’ve worked hard to develop comprehensive safety protocols in accordance with guidance from the CDC, the State of Connecticut and our own Chief Medical Officer. These guidelines are to ensure you feel informed with all the information you need to be at ease as you return to Foxwoods. See here for our full meeting and events safety plan.

Sanitization stations will be set up one per every 25 attendees. Additionally, after each use, conference room doors, tables, chairs, light switches and other equipment will be sanitized, including fogging at the end of the day. 

Do I have to wear a mask at my event?

Yes, team members and guests are required to wear face masks at all times. If a guest or team member arrives without a face mask one will be provided. Everyone entering the property will undergo a daily COVID 19 checklist questionnaire as suggested by the CDC.

All guests and team members entering the property will also go through non-invasive thermal temperature checks at the entrances to the property; those with an elevated temperature above 100.4 will be retested. If guests or team members still record high, they will not be allowed to enter.

What will food service at events look like?

All buffets will be served by attendants. Self-service food or beverage is suspended until further notice. Coffee and other break items will also be attended by a server. Flatware will be provided as a roll-up to include salt and pepper, and condiments will be served in individual packages. Individual bottled water will be provided, two per place, in lieu of water carafe on meeting tables and water stations - additional bottled water is available for a fee.
