The Kennedy Center in D.C. was evacuated Thursday over a reported bomb threat, according to officials.

According to a statement from the Kennedy Center, the threat was targeted at Shen Yun performances; the famed group was slated to open its 2025 season on Thursday.

“Security acted swiftly, following existing protocols,” the statement read.

Earlier, the investigation shut down the Rock Creek Parkway between Virginia Ave NW and the Roosevelt Bridge. The parkway has reopened, according to WTOP Traffic.
