It’s the one-size-fits-all venue. Drop in for a quick visit, linger with friends or just hit the couches and beanbags and soak up the atmosphere. The Festival Lounge opens half an hour before the first film of the day and is open til late every night – even later on Friday and Saturday nights, where we bust out the DJs and good tunes.

Saddle up for a delicious meal, a quick snack, real coffee, a glass of wine or beer (thanks to our sponsors Train Trak Winery and Monteith’s Brewing Co). Or sidle up to a frozen daiquiri from The Daiquiri King for that cool inner glow.
