Nevada City, California

As central as the films are here at Wild and Scenic, the community-centered nightlife is also a vital part of the festival experience. At Nevada City’s Classic Cafe I found a capacity house enjoying wine, French cuisine, and the eclectic sounds of Beaucoup Chapeaux. The cafe is like a little magic portal that awakens not only our senses, but our sense of appreciation as well.
