Passes will go on sale at the end of November with individual film and workshop tickets on sale min January. More details coming!

Tumbleweeds highlights stories and young protagonists from around the world, providing opportunities for Utah families to enjoy films from China, France, Germany, and Cuba (among many others) in an effort to cultivate an early appreciation for the arts. Families can also enjoy hands-on arts, crafts, media, and technology activities between films. In 2018, the Festival attracted nearly 4,000 attendees. Tumbleweeds is the preeminent cinematic festival for young audiences in the Mountain West, and encourages curiosity about our beautifully diverse and nuanced world.

Tumbleweeds features:
• Films from around the world
• Film-related workshops by professional artists
• Free, hands-on, creative activities for the whole family

“Tumbleweeds remains for my family one of the true cultural treasures of the Beehive State.”
