The 2026 Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour lands at the Fox Theater in downtown Spokane for three screenings Friday through Sunday, Jan. 9-11. Each night features a fresh program of up to nine new adventure films, a long-running tradition that now stretches more than three decades. Friday and Saturday doors open at 6 p.m. with a 7 p.m. showtime. Sunday offers a matinee with doors at 2 p.m. and a 3 p.m. start. A Saturday VIP benefit adds a community twist to the festival.
The preshow event begins at 5 p.m. on Jan. 10 and includes first-choice access to seats along with appetizers from Feast World Kitchen and beverages from Townshend Cellars. One hundred percent of the VIP ticket price is directed to the local nonprofit you choose at checkout. General admission, VIP and a three-day bundle of tickets are available. If you want your VIP purchase to benefit a specific group—such as Dishman Hills Conservancy, Friends of the Bluff, Spokane Riverkeeper, The Lands Council, Inland Northwest Land Conservancy, Spokane Nordic and others—use their code when you buy your tickets. Whether you’re chasing ski stoke, big-wall stories, or human-powered travel in far corners of the globe, Spokane’s Banff stop is a midwinter highlight and an easy way to support local conservation and outdoor nonprofits. Get your tickets at Foxtheaterspokane.org.
