Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival

Since 1976, the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival, a flagship program of Banff Centre, has been an industry leader in the celebration of Mountain Culture. We promote understanding and appreciation of the world’s mountain places by creating opportunities for people to share and find inspiration in mountain experiences, ideas, and visions. Following the festival each fall, our annual World Tour reaches more than 45 countries on 7 continents, making us the largest adventure film tour on the planet.

Join us in Banff for the 51st annual Festival from Oct. 31-Nov. 8, 2026! The Festival features guest speakers including adventurers, authors, and filmmakers sharing their stories; epic films from around the world; FREE events, the annual Festival Marketplace, Patio Parties with live music, downtown and partner events, and mountain art exhibitions, and more.
