ImageNation’s 21st annual IMAGENATION OUTDOORS Film and Music Festival is happening from July 7th to October 21st, 2023.
All events are free and open to the public, including an Eastside and Westside Open Streets Movie series, Drive-In Movie series, New York City Parks screenings, a Black Anime Series, a Great Day Harlem Food & Music Festival, and a Soul Train Tribute to Hip Hop’s 50th Anniversary.
