August 18, 2022 – Pelham and Bronxville, NY – The Picture House Regional Film Center (www.thepicturehouse.org) is reviving its popular fundraising event, Picnic in the Park, on September 10, 2022, beginning at 6:00 pm. The end-of-summer soiree will kick-off in the beautifully renovated 1921 Pelham theater with an advance screening of See How They Run, starring Saoirse Ronan and Sam Rockwell. After the screening, guests will head to Wolfs Lane Park directly across the street from the theater, where they will enjoy drinks, dinner from a selection of food trucks, including Leila’s Empanadas, Walter’s Hot Dogs, MAC’s, and Bona Bona Ice Cream, and music provided by DJ Stephen Byfield.  

“We’re thrilled to bring back this hallmark return-from-summer event that so many from Pelham and the surrounding communities have looked forward to year after year. We’ve always loved the communal spirit of Picnic in the Park and considered the event a way to both close out the summer and usher in an exciting new year season of films and Picture House events, and that is especially true this year, as Picnic in the Park returns for the first time since 2019,” said Laura deBuys, Executive Director and President of The Picture House. “We’re particularly grateful to our Marquee sponsor, The Berkowitz Marrone Team at Triplemint x The Agency, a steadfast supporter of this event, and we look forward to welcoming our guests back to Picnic.”
