April 9-12, 2026

Where Cinema Meets Paradise.

We’re planning another weekend of Films, Food, and Fine Wines as the Vero Beach Film Festival celebrates our ninth Festival on April 9-12, 2026, pairing independent filmmakers and audiences seeking new voices and fresh perspectives. Meet the artists behind the screen, enjoy a vintner dinner, and explore Vero Beach, our hidden gem, “Where The Tropics Begin,” along Florida’s eastern coast.

Our Eighth Festival was a big success thanks to our amazing volunteers, patrons, sponsors, and filmmakers. We look forward to welcoming you back next year for another weekend of independent films, food, fine wine, and fun.
