The Picture House Regional Film Center: Party on Kraft

A Festive Event Celebrating Film, Food, Live Music and Community

The Picture House Regional Film Center is thrilled to announce the return of its signature fall fundraiser, Party on Kraft, on Friday, September 19, 2025, beginning at 6:00 pm in Bronxville. This annual community celebration brings neighbors together for an unforgettable evening of film, food, live music, and fun – all in support of the nonprofit’s mission to build community through film, education, and cultural programming all year long.

The evening begins on Kraft Avenue with cocktails – including Best of Westchester-winning margaritas from Bronxville favorite La Casa – dinner from local food trucks, and live acoustic hits from the ‘80s and ‘90s by Freeway. Then, guests will head into our beautifully restored, historic 1926 theater for an exclusive advance screening of a feature film, capping off a night of food, film, music, and community.

Party on Kraft ’25 is co-chaired by Bronxville residents Gina Nigido Lander, Sarab Leivers, and Mary Grace Colangelo.

“Party on Kraft brings the best of what we do at The Picture House out into the community – great films, great conversation, and great energy,” said Clayton Bushong, Executive Director of The Picture House Regional Film Center. “It’s a one-of-a-kind evening that brings people together while supporting the year-round programming and preservation of our historic theaters.”

Tickets are on sale now and cost $135 per person. All proceeds benefit The Picture House Regional Film Center’s year-round programming and preservation of its historic theaters in Bronxville and Pelham.

There’s still time for local businesses to get involved. A range of sponsorship opportunities are available, offering high-visibility support of a beloved community event. For more information, contact Carolyn Duncan at carolyn@thepicturehouse.org.
