Saturday, Feb. 8 at 3 p.m.——WOODSTOCK—Experience the vibrant world of Frida Kahlo at the Film & Food Soirée on Saturday, February 8, at Billings Farm & Museum. The evening begins at 3 p.m. with a screening of “Frida,” an Oscar-shortlisted documentary exploring the legendary Mexican artist’s life, art, and legacy through lyrical animation and her own words.
Following the film, guests will indulge in a Latin-inspired culinary experience by Woodstock Inn & Resort’s Executive Chef Matthew McClure. The menu will feature garbanzo bean tacos, mole-braised pork tostadas, and a Latin Mezze board with artisanal dips, cured meats, and Billings Farm cheeses. Signature Margaritas and horchata will complement the flavors.
Live music by Route 5 Jive will fill the air with the swing sounds of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, blended with jazz, samba, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Guests can also take part in an interactive art experience, creating colorful paper flowers inspired by Frida’s bold artistic spirit.
Attendees are encouraged to embrace Frida’s style with bright colors, expressive patterns, and floral accessories. Tickets are $75 in advance, $85 at the door, and $65 for Billings Farm members, including the film, food, and a complimentary glass of Cava. Ages 21+ only.
All proceeds benefit the Woodstock Vermont Film Series, supporting films that spark conversation and connection.
A regular screening of “Frida” will be held on Sunday, Feb. 9, at 3 p.m. Tickets for this screening are $15 per person and $12 for Billings Farm members.
