This isn’t just a festival.

We have special rates for nonprofits and seniors. Please follow our iG @projectwinterland for updates and info about our program!The content and friend-making at this festival will be top-tier!
We are staging a solar pavilion outside our venue at O'Shaughnessey's Cultural Arts Center and also in Depot Park because we are powering the entire festival on clean energy, provided by solar and led by the team at NUE. (New Use Energy). They are bringing a suite of 16 batteries - setting them up at our venues from O'Shaughnessy's to Depot Park, Thirty-Eight Whitefish and the Great Northern. We are geared up to be the country's first multi-day, multi-venue festival powered entirely by clean energy, charged by solar.
There will also be booths for solar companies seeking exposure and connection. If you want to be part of Montana showing the world what's possible, please get in touch with us to help out!
PROJECT 17 is partnering with us this year for the Battery Tour Concerts. We will also be screening a groundbreaking new film produced out of Cal Tech, called Bright Harvest. If you're interested in the latest solar tech, this is not to be missed. The three scientists who began the research at MIT in 1981, will be in attendance, along with Brigitte Bren the Cal Tech Trustee billionaire who has supported the research and the film. They've had standing room only screenings across academia, but we are premiering it at Westland - first festival in the country to screen it.
We're lucky to have a full demonstration project of clean energy at work. AY is a United Nations SDG Young Leader. Please don't miss his concert with Rachel Crow (X Factor finalist, Disney and Nickelodeon) soul singer on Friday evening in Depot Park, sponsored by Bonsai Brewing!
Come meet the leaders at NUE and hear how they're working with film studios, corporations and NGOs to guide their transitions to clean energy. Please bring your kids!
We have an unbelievable speaker program this year. Leaders from Nat Geo, (an outstanding film about lost glaciers) Rockefeller Foundation, (a brand new film entitled FOOD2050 about Ag & Food Systems and the future of food.)
Well-Beings Foundation featuring (Breanna Schultz (Starbucks Schultz) Amanda Hearst Rønning (Randolph Hearst heir/climate activist) and climate leaders and global speakers like Ayisha Siddiqa who was on the cover of Time Magazine Women of the Year at age 23 for her climate leadership. She's currently senior advisor to the Secretary General at the Hague in the Netherlands and law school at NYU. We're also very excited to have Mimi Nicklin join us. Here is a partial list of our leaders and arists attending.
We can't announce yet, but we will have a very special guest representing the film, In the Company of Wolves: An American Journey, in attendance on Saturday evening. Doug Chadwick and Cameron Krebs will also be on the panel.
All of our festival merch will be made locally by FDES, using textile circularity -- upcycled fabrics sourced locally. Every piece is original -- check it out in our lobby and at Depot Park on Friday!!
