For the last 8 years, Shenandoah National Park Trust has had the honor of bringing the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival to the Paramount Theater in downtown Charlottesville. We are excited to announce that the two-night festival complete with raffles and giveaway prizes will be back at the Paramount in March 2024!

*Note: Due to the popularity of Banff, the Paramount Theater has agreed to move the festival to Saturday and Sunday (rather than our usual Sunday and Monday)! Please plan accordingly.
