Celebrate New Year’s Eve 2022 TOGETHER at Bearsville Theater
2021…perhaps only slightly better than 2020. Are we right??
At least we had live music and some amazing events to get us through! As we usher in 2022, Bearsville Theater is continuing the party. After all, we think 2022 deserves it! It has a lot of expectations to live up to…
So please join the amazing staff at Bearsville, in one of the most iconic venues in our area, as they take you on a journey through time, from our ancestral roots to the digital sound of the future. Let the beats, sound & rhythm welcome in the New Year TOGETHER.
