Kick Off July At The Crest With ‘Monterey Pop’

by Chris Narloch

If you’re not doing anything this Saturday evening, July 1st, I suggest you make plans to see one of the most electrifying concert films ever made, when the historic Crest Theatre screens ‘Monterey Pop’ to celebrate the film’s 50th Anniversary.
