Join us for an unforgettable evening under the stars at the , Ventura Land Trust’s biggest event of the year!
This inspiring festival brings together films that celebrate the beauty of nature, spotlight frontline environmental activism, and share powerful stories that call us to action. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is a celebration of community, conservation, and our shared commitment to protecting the planet.
As Ventura Land Trust’s largest annual fundraiser, your attendance directly supports the preservation of local open spaces. Your ticket helps us restore habitat, build trails, plant native trees, and protect Ventura’s rivers and wild places for generations to come. Learn more about VLT's work here!
New Venue, More Fun
We’re reimagining Wild & Scenic, bringing the same community energy you love into a new, indoor cinematic experience. We’re not leaving the outdoor festival vibes behind, but instead moving them along with us to the streets of Downtown.
Join us for this new evolution of our annual community festival, featuring an all-day street festival, family-focused matinee film showing, and all followed by our classic evening film showing at the historic Majestic Ventura Theater.
VIP's, don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you. This year, we hope you'll join us at the new and improved VIP Happy Hour, hosted by Leashless Brewing. Enjoy music, a taco bar by Mother's Tacos, and local brews before you venture over to the evening showing.
Ventura Land Trust preserves are free and open daily — your support keeps them that way.
