Join us for the 3rd annual Borscht Belt Film Fest Opening Night Reception on Friday, November 6 in Ellenville, NY.

The evening begins at 5:00 PM with an opening night fundraising reception at the Borscht Belt Museum (90 Canal St), celebrating the glamour, nostalgia, and spirit of the legendary Catskills resorts with Borscht Belt–style noshes, cocktails, and live music by The Starlight Duo. Guests are encouraged to dress in their best Borscht Belt-era cocktail attire and come ready to relive the magic and spirit of a bygone era. The festival will also honor the late Elaine Grossinger Etess with its inaugural Legacy Award, to be accepted on her behalf by her children and grandchildren, during the reception.

At 7:00 PM, head just a block away to Shadowland Stages (157 Canal St) for the opening screening of “We Met at Grossinger’s”—a tribute to the iconic resort that inspired the movie “Dirty Dancing,” followed by an exclusive Q&A with producer Robert Friedman and the Grossinger family.

Tickets: $125, includes full access to both the reception and screening. Capacity is limited—reserve your tickets early!
