Gather.

The annual Wydaho Adventure Film Festival takes place place on the Western slope of the Tetons in Victor, Idaho. Just far enough away from the glitz, glam and wealth of Jackson Hole but not from the Tetons themselves, the culture of Teton Valley made up of of authenticity, community, character, grit and people who seek pure adventure over status or hype.

We loved the culture of Western Tetons so much that we decided to create a film festival celebrating stories that embody this ethos. The films and stories we curate and feature celebrate the values and culture of this unique place, and encourage positive change through the lens of adventure. 

The festival showcases adventure films that inspire, educate and encourage making a difference, and also celebrate the local Teton culture of storytelling and adventure. The event will also feature special guests, outdoor gear giveaways, music, food, drink, lawn games and the best of Teton Valley’s nonprofit and entrepreneurial community.

The Power
Of Story
For The
Tetons.

We’re firm believers in the power of story and the ability for it to bring about change for the better among people and communities. The Teton region is full of organizations and people all working to make life a better and more equitable place for those who live here, and this event will support these efforts. We have chosen three benefitting nonprofits in Teton Valley that participants will be able to support after being inspired through story
