Lebowski Fest is a celebration of all things related to the 1998 Coen brothers cult comedy, "The Big Lebowski." Fans of the film (aka "Achievers") come from far and wide to drink white Russians, throw some rocks and party with an array of Dudes, Walters and Maudes (not to mention a nihilist or two). It's a two-day party that typically opens with live performances and screening of the film the first night and concludes with a raucous bowling party the following night. July 15–17 Bastille Day Weekend Wine Dinner Come join us at the CastlePost for a gourmet 5 course dinner prepared by the Castle's executive chef and other local chefs in honor of Bastille Day.
