Here are a few things you might want to know ahead of your visit to PHOTOVILLE.

Where does Photoville take place?

Photoville is happening in ALL 5 boroughs this year! We will of course be back at our home in Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO but, in addition, a selection of exhibitions will also be shown in some incredible outdoor spaces we’ve been lucky to partner with in Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island.

An interactive online map & printable maps of all exhibitions will be available closer to the 2024 festival.

When does Photoville take place?

Photoville 2024 will run from June 1 to June 16. It all begins with our Opening Weekend community celebration on June 1-2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, where we will have in-person activities, evening programming, and of course lots and lots of photo exhibitions! At the same time, outdoor exhibitions will be open to the public across the city.

A printable schedule of Opening Weekend events will be made available.

Other programs, including online professional development, safety clinics, and in-person tours and events hosted by our partners will be taking place throughout the month of June.

Community celebration: Park Safety

For your food and drink options, including alcohol, please visit our Smorgusburg friends throughout the day. Outside food is permitted.

Please note there will be a bag check at the entrance to the lawn, where the nighttime programming takes place. This is to ensure the above policies and to maintain the beautiful outdoor space and safety of our attendees, so we can all enjoy the event together!
