Howland Cultural Center's Gala Celebration

Join the party and help support the Howland Cultural Center! Serving the region from an historic 1872 home in Beacon since 1979, we're still going strong in our 46th year. We gather for dinner and to honor two visionaries: Neil Caplan, founder of Bannerman Castle Trust and its island theater; and Phil Ciganer, founder of the 53-year music venue, Towne Crier Cafe. Our music segment features folk icon Tom Chapin, "Always Patsy Cline" singer Jessica Welch and post-Latin jazz duo Zohar & Adam. Be there!
