UPCOMING EVENTS (Music events will be on the Best Video Film & Cultural Center deck through Fri., Oct. 30. Because of that, they will be subject to the whims of weather. To get up to date information as to whether a scheduled event might be canceled, follow our social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter.
As of Sat., Oct. 30, Best Video’s music events will be coming inside for the winter. Covid protocols for inside events are 30 max attendance, proof of vaccination required to enter, and masks must be worn.
