There are few events more classically Watercolor Beach than the annual Mountainfilm on Tour. For its 26th year, the two-night outdoor film festival returns to WaterColor® Marina Park for an unforgettable celebration of film, art and ideas under the stars Nov. 6 and 7.
Mountainfilm on Tour in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, offers guests the unique opportunity to see some of the best-loved films from the annual Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado, right here in Northwest Florida – all while enjoying the best South Walton beaches and activities.
“Mountainfilm has become one of WaterColor’s signature events, and we love seeing so many locals and visitors make it part of their annual traditions. Whether you come back every year or have never experienced it before, we hope you’ll join us for a great weekend of films under the stars at Marina Park.” – Matt Moore, General Manager
