This year, Ventura Land Trust is re-imagining our annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival. We’re bringing the event downtown, screening at the Majestic Ventura Theater, and closing down Chestnut St for festivities. Join us for a VIP Happy Hour before the show at Leashless Brewing.

Wild & Scenic shares an urgent call to action, encouraging festival-goers to learn more about what they can do to save our threatened planet. The Film Festival is Ventura Land Trust's largest annual event to raise funds to protect and conserve Ventura County's open spaces.

Protecting and preserving our open spaces is more important than ever.

Join us for inspiring films, drinks, a silent auction, children’s activities, and amazing community partners. This is an annual event not to be missed.
