Come join Hogan's Alley Society for a Free Outdoor Film Screening Celebrating Black Stories, History, and Joy!
On Friday, August 28, 2026, Hogan's Alley Society invites you back to People's Park for an evening under the stars celebrating Black film, storytelling, and community. Bring a blanket, find your spot on the grass, and settle in. This free outdoor screening is our last community activation in the park before the Hogan's Alley Resurgence Festival arrives later this September — another chance to gather, connect, and bring life back to this historic block ahead of the bigger celebration to come.
The evening will feature a curated lineup of seven short films by Black directors, exploring the Black experience across belonging, history, identity, migration, and ancestral memory, and closing out on a note of joy and self-determination.
A seating area will be available toward the back of the space, along with an accessible portable toilet on site. We encourage attendees to bring a blanket or towel to sit on and fully settle into the vibes for the evening.
Simple concessions — bags of chips and canned pop — will be available for purchase on site.
Event is free entry.
As parking in the area is limited and not very parking-friendly, we strongly encourage attendees to take transit to the event.
Event Date: Friday, August 28, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM (Film screening runs 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM)
Location: People's Park (722 Gore Avenue, Vancouver) – the Hogan's Alley Block
Accessibility: We are committed to creating accessible experiences for attendees in person and online.
