We are thrilled to be partnering with our friends at Orvis and SweetWater Brewing Company again for this night of fresh films, a silent auction, cool swag and giveaways, food and heady brews.

The night will start with the Quality Hooch Pre-Party where guests can enjoy food, free happy hour courtesy of SweetWater Brewery, silent auction, a BOTE raffle (package valued at $2,000) and a variety of vendors, fly shops and outfitters who will be showcasing their goods. Come mingle with CRK, the good folks at Orvis, fly anglers, and other outdoor enthusiasts who are committed to a forever clean and sustainable Chattahoochee River.

The film festival will begin around 7PM. Seats are limited, so get there early or else it’s standing room only for the night! We’re showing the best fishing films from around the world to get you revved up and ready for the fall.

And don’t forget the silent auction! Check out Orvis Atlanta on Instagram for more details on items. Auction items include sweet new Orvis equipment and awesome gear from our Down the Hatch friends and partners.

Entry for the BOTE raffle is included in your ticket price, so kick back and enjoy the show but be ready to sit on the edge of your seat come raffle time. We will be selling additional raffle tickets at the event so bring your cash! 1 for $5, 5 for $20, or an arm’s length for $100.
