The inaugural Yosemite Film Festival and Storyteller Summit will take place June 25th-28th, 2026, bringing filmmakers, climbers, and outdoor creatives together in the birthplace of American rock climbing. While final programming is still being confirmed, the multi-day event is expected to feature film screenings, storytelling workshops, and Q&A panels with filmmakers and climbers.

Designed to celebrate Yosemite’s enduring influence on climbing culture, the festival aims to create a new platform for both emerging and established storytellers to share perspectives rooted in adventure, stewardship, and community.
