The 31-year-old faces four counts, including trying to assassinate the president of the United States.
At his arraignment, Allen was in shackles and an orange prison outfit.
He stood at the podium as his attorneys entered a plea of not guilty to the charges against him.
Prosecutors say Allen traveled from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C.
by train and booked a room at the same hotel where the White House Correspondents' Dinner takes place.
Allen then allegedly tried to storm the dinner with a shotgun and other weapons, but was stopped at the outer perimeter by Secret Service agents.
He is scheduled to be back in court in late June.
