Founded with a mission to uplift independent voices and bring people together through the power of film, Vero Beach Film Festival has become one of the region’s most anticipated events. Drawing visitors, artists, and creatives to Vero Beach for a one-of-a-kind experience that lingers long after the final screening.
This isn’t just about watching movies. It’s about stepping into a curated atmosphere where passion, creativity, and connection take center stage. Attendees will enjoy a thoughtfully selected lineup of films that include powerful documentaries, world premieres, heartfelt narratives, and thought-provoking shorts—each offering a unique voice and perspective. But what truly sets Vero Beach Film Festival apart is its commitment to intimacy. Filmmakers are present. Conversations are real. And the connection between the audience and the art is personal.
Guests will have the opportunity to meet the artists behind the lens, participate in live Q&As, and attend exclusive invite-only events like cocktails with filmmakers, a beachside dinner, and hidden cellar wine tastings that feel more like family gatherings than formal receptions.
This year’s lineup of events and experiences is a reflection of what makes Vero Beach Film Festival so special. High-quality programming, deep community involvement, and a relaxed but sophisticated energy that allows you to enjoy the arts at your own pace. The schedule is packed with film screenings, red carpet events, social gatherings, and culinary showcases. Whether you’re a cinephile looking to pack your weekend with back-to-back screenings or simply want to sip wine and take in a few crowd favorites, there’s a pass that fits your style.
The Pick Four Pass is an excellent choice for casual attendees, offering admission to any four films and the flexibility to share with up to four people.
The Cinema Pass gives true movie lovers unlimited access to all film screenings.
For a blend of film and festivities, the Cinema Select Pass includes all screenings along with access to the Grand Wine Tasting, the Opening Night Jury Awards Ceremony and After-Hours Dance, and entry into the exclusive Filmmakers Hidden Lounge.
For those who want the full VIP treatment, the Premier Pass unlocks everything—every film, every party, private dinners, intimate filmmaker cocktails, and front-row access to the festival’s biggest moments.
In a town known for its natural beauty and relaxed sophistication, Vero Beach Film Festival adds a layer of cultural richness. Walk from one screening to the next under palm lined streets, stop by a local café in between, or spend the afternoon at the beach before dressing up for the red carpet. The entire city comes alive during festival weekend, welcoming guests with open arms and unforgettable experiences.
More than an event, the Vero Beach Film Festival is a cause. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization, Vero Beach Film Festival is dedicated to enriching the community both culturally and economically. The festival has donated thousands to local charities, provides free community screenings throughout the year, and champions the next generation of filmmakers through student and independent spotlights. When you purchase a pass, you’re not just attending a festival—you’re supporting a movement.
