April 16, 17, & 18, 2027

More than fields, it's film.

 Weekend to Remember And More to Come!​

What an incredible weekend! The 4th Annual Farm to Film Fest filled our downtown with energy, inspiration, and a true sense of community. From the high-energy rhythm of our Friday night kickoff to the "choose your own adventure" screenings that took over our local venues, we are still buzzing from the stories shared and the connections made.

Whether you were moved by a thought-provoking documentary at the Historic State Theatre, enjoyed dessert with the filmmakers themselves, or took a break from the screen to explore our downtown boutiques and restaurants, we hope you left feeling inspired.

To everyone who joined us to celebrate art, conversation, and the historic charm of Washington--thank you. You made this year truly unforgettable.
Save the Date for 2027!We’re already looking ahead and can’t wait to do it all again. Clear your calendars and get ready for another weekend of world-class cinema and local heart:
April 16, 17, & 18, 2027
​

Stay tuned for updates as we begin planning for our 5th year. We’ll see you in Downtown Washington, Iowa!
