Event

Food & Farm Film Fest at the Rio

Online ticket sales have ended, but tickets will be available at the door!

Join 18 Reasons and the Rio Theater for a special on-the-road presentation of our 2014 opening night shorts program. We are excited to partner with the Rio, a locally-owned independent theater located on the banks of the Russion River. The Rio also happens to have an acre of lawn that's just perfect for a picnic supper before the show. We will be serving grilled sausages with a seasonal salad and Josey Baker bread starting at 5. The films will begin at 8. Come enjoy a summer afternoon by the river, followed by some of our favorite films from this year's fest.

Your ticket includes supper and entry to the films. Wine and beer will be for sale on site. To claim a vegetarian meal, please enter the code "Vegetarian" at checkout.

We are also offering a special "Peacock's Picnic" basket for $50 ($75 for a two-person basket). The Peacock's Picnic includes include dinner; a ticket for the film screening; a picnic basket and blanket for you to use during the festival; a copy of Josey Baker's new book; a special bottle of wine from the Coppola Winery and some more treats and surprises. Shake your tail feather!
