May 1, Opening Day School Auditorium Use

New and Improved Process, We're Listening

  • For more information on the process to reserve space withing this advanced priority placement, send an email to cupf@montgomerycountymd.gov.

  • Individual / personal accounts may not make facility reservations on behalf of an organization.
  • Payment is due at the time of the reservation.
  • Auditorium requests are subject to review and typically have a 5-15 business day lead time, depending on the school(s) being requested. Please be thorough in your application.
  • A final approval and "firm" contract are required prior to an advertisement by the group for the event. This final "firm" contract will be sent to the main email on file for the account requesting the space.
