Gathering With Purpose
June 11-13, 2026
In the foothills of iconic Glacier National Park
Westland Impact Festival isn’t just a weekend event.
It’s an entirely new breed of festival -
Powered by people gathering together who care deeply about the future and are ready to build it.
A space where storytelling meets innovation.
Where creativity meets purpose.
Where ideas don’t just inspire… they move.
Over three days, Westland brought together filmmakers, artists, entrepreneurs, and change-makers for an experience rooted in connection, culture, and impact.
A gathering shaped by story, sound, and place.
Rooted in the spirit of Project Winterland.
Built on years of bringing people together through culture.
We are committed to access, equity, and community participation, offering multiple ticket pathways to ensure cost is not a barrier to experiencing Westland.
Thank you to our Partners for Westland Impact Festival 2026!
Thank you to TripZero and Larch House for wonderful options for attendees to book their stay in beautiful Whitefish, Montana.
