Westchester Film Festival and Hockey Updates Engage Community
The Westchester Film Festival returns this weekend, showcasing local talent, while the region's hockey teams are making headlines with recent games. Both events highlight the vibrant community spirit of Westchester County.
Westchester Film Festival Kicks Off
The annual Westchester Film Festival is set to take place from March 12 to March 14, 2026, at various locations across the county, including New Rochelle and White Plains. This year, the festival will feature over 40 films, highlighting local filmmakers and diverse genres. Attendees can expect a mixture of documentaries, shorts, and narrative films. Highlights include a special screening of ‘Voices of the Hudson’, which showcases the unique stories of Westchester residents.
Hockey Teams in Action
In the sports arena, Westchester's hockey teams are gaining attention. The Westchester Raptors won a thrilling game against the Yonkers Bulldogs, finishing 5-4 in a nail-biting overtime. Coach Mark Thompson praised the team's effort, stating, “This win reflects our hard work all season.” Fans can look forward to their next match against the Holdenville Hawks scheduled for March 18 at 7 PM at the Westchester Sports Center.
Philanthropic Efforts Continue
On the philanthropy front, a charity gala is being hosted by the Westchester Community Foundation on March 20. The event aims to raise funds for local programs supporting youth and education initiatives. Last year’s gala successfully brought in $50,000, and organizers hope to exceed that amount this year. Community members are encouraged to participate and support this important cause.
