Divas Outdoors presents "Shall We Dance"

This event is rain or shine. In the event of rain, the screening will be moved to indoor locations.

Come early and set out your elaborate picnic spread. 

Pour your energy into planning your fabulous art deco-style props and costumes, knowing that we'll pour the drinks when you arrive!  Choose a special champagne cocktail, beer, wine, or champagne to go with your feast, or pick up a sandwich from Hillwood's Café!

Our judges love:

  • Themes and connections to the film,
  • Costumes, and
  • Props, including table cloths, flameless candelabras, serving dishes, baskets, centerpieces, and classic movie snacks.

Winners will receive an annual membership to Hillwood, bragging rights, and the envy and admiration of your fellow film-goers.
 

Hillwood Café

Stop by the bar for a signature champagne cocktail, beer, wine, or champagne by the glass or bottle. Sandwiches and light snacks are also available to purchase.

The bar will remain open until 9:45 p.m.
