The Fredericksburg Film Festival returns June 25–28, 2026, for a celebration of independent filmmaking from both our local community and around the world. Guided by this year’s theme, Cinema That Connects, the festival showcases stories that reflect our shared human experiences and the moments that unite us. Guests can enjoy screenings, workshops, filmmaker Q&As, mixers, and special events hosted at some of Downtown Fredericksburg’s most beloved venues, including The Marriott, The Publisher, 718 Venue, Reign The Venue, and Ironclad Inn. More than a film festival, it is an opportunity to experience cinema and community in a vibrant and meaningful way.
