Park Hall is celebrating its 100th year anniversary, and is excited to usher in another successful 100 years! New staffing, several new Trustees and with a vision to increase community involvement, the hall is hosting a gala fundraiser August 12, 2023. Internationally celebrated and Grammy-nominated artist Andre Thierry, who previously performed for a packed Park Hall in 2019, will be returning for another night of revelry featuring the zydeco and accordion soul music he is so famous for. Thierry’s Louisiana roots effervesce the lively atmosphere he creates – be prepared to show up with your dancing feet. Inaugurating the evening are local faves, Moonshine Crossroads. Described as “Rollicking Americana Music”, anticipate everything from jazz standards and doo-wop classics to outlaw country and classic rock. With strong vocal harmonies, vibrant electric guitar, and tin-kazoo solos, their eclectic repertoire is sure to include “your” song and we promise to get your toes tapping.

Park Hall in Ben Lomond has been serving the community and greater SLV area for 100 years and   believes this celebration is the perfect opportunity to reintroduce ourselves to our valley neighbors.  We especially invite our Ben Lomond resident Hall “owners” to drop by and say “Hello”, meet neighbors, participate in the music and song and support our irreplaceable treasure. While it is our goal is to preserve our historic building, our overriding purpose is to  be a welcoming resource for the community.

For over 40 years, Park Hall has been the home of both Mountain Community Theater (MCT) and Little People’s Repertory Theater (LPRT).  Before these companies joined us, Park Hall hosted Redwood Repertory Theater and countless dances, costume balls, concerts. lectures, classes, civic meetings, trainings, birthday and anniversary parties which have delighted our community over many decades.

“After a long intermission due to covid, it’s time to throw open our doors and honor the memories created here” says hall manager, Surreyya Hada.  The proceeds from this event will be dedicated to immediate repairs and long term upgrades to the building and updates its audiovisual equipment, both which are desperately needed.

“For 100+ years Park Hall has been the public community center in the heart of the San Lorenzo Valley. Community is only hard to find if you stay at home. Instead, come down, listen to great music, dance, meet your neighbors, and celebrate our wonderful historic Hall.” Lyle Troxell, Trustee
