Wild and Scenic Film Festival 2025
Upcoming EventsJoin us on October 9th, 2025 for a night of films and fun as the Wild and Scenic Film Festival returns to the Skagit.
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival returns to the Lincoln Theater!
The Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group is excited to bring the Wild & Scenic Film Festival back to the Historic Lincoln Theater for one night only on Thursday, October 9th. We are looking forward to hosting a reception with live music by local artist Oli May beginning at 6pm, complete with a raffle and beer and wine service!
We are looking forward to hosting a LIVE RAFFLE with raffle items graciously donated by both local and national sponsors of our event.
The Film Festival will feature 8 short films that will delight the senses, inform our minds and help us appreciate nature and the struggles to protect it. Films were selected from a collection of over 100 films shown at the annual film festival held in Nevada City, CA. These films capture the spirit of varying environmental movements across the globe and the relationship that they have to humanity and that humanity has to them. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival works with environmental groups across the globe to host On Tour events as a way to outreach into different communities and bring together a diverse audience.
