Woodstock Film Festival 2025 Local Stay Initiative

Offer a Stay, Support the Festival

The Woodstock Film Festival has a long-standing tradition of matching attending filmmakers with generous local residents who offer a place to stay during the festival. This year, we’re expanding the program to include essential staff and crew who travel to Woodstock to work behind the scenes and help make the film festival’s magic happen.

If you have a spare room or guest house in the Woodstock/Saugerties/Kingston area, you can play a meaningful role in supporting the arts—no hosting required, just a clean and comfortable place to stay for the distinguished guests or the hard-working staff.

Your contribution will:

Help a Deserving Artist: Your place could give a filmmaker the chance to showcase their work and gain exposure they may not have access to otherwise.
Support Industry Professionals: Many of the talented individuals who work behind the scenes to make the festival possible also need a place to stay. Your help ensures they can focus on their work without the stress of finding accommodations.
Support a nonprofit dedicated to film, art, and community.

Our team will match you with a guest and handle all the details. In return, you’ll receive film tickets, special perks, and our deepest gratitude.

Our 26th Annual Woodstock Film Festival is October 15 - 19th, 2025. All information is kept confidential and is only shared within the guest relations team.

Feel free to reach out to guestrelations@woodstockfilmfestival.org with any questions, and someone will be in touch soon!
