ROYAL GARDEN PARTY

FRIDAY, JUNE 3rd, 5:00pm – 7:00pm | MACCALLUM HOUSE TENT

Exclusive Mendocino Film Festival Member and Sponsor Event

Celebrate Opening Night at the Film Festival’s Royal Garden Party. Don your most dapper hat or elegant fascinator and raise a glass of Roederer Estate sparkling wine to fifteen years of the Mendocino Film Festival!

Thirteen chefs, from our local inns and restaurants, will serve up small bites to please your palate. Nine local wines, plus beer, hard cider, spirits, and kombucha will be poured with abandon. Five musicians, composing the jazz quintet of Magnolia, led by Sharon Garner, will play a mixture of Gypsy jazz and three-part-harmony.

Mingle with friends, neighbors, filmmakers and special guests, and discuss all of the weekend’s cinematic offerings. Sip a craft cocktail from the Hudson Lounge. Take a photo in your garden party hat.

This year’s Royal Garden Party will be followed by a selection of films at the Festival Tent, Crown Hall, Mendocino Theatre Company and Coast Cinemas. With so many movies to choose from, you are sure to find one to tickle your fancy.
