Summer of Soul Screening - SummerStage
Juneteenth celebration from SummerStage 2022.
Celebrate Juneteenth in Harlem with a free, outdoor screening of Oscar®-winning documentary Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised). In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary – part music film, part historical record – created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in summer 1969, just 100 miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park). The footage was largely forgotten – until now.
Marcus Garvey Park is our neighbor, 10 blocks to the north of Central Park and holds a number of SummerStage presentations. FYI: There is a bike lane on 5th Ave the runs from Marcus Garvey Park to Central Park.
