Belleville Downtown DocFest 2024: Lights, Camera, Santana!

Opening Night Gala and Live Concert Extravaganza Await

Get ready to dive into the reel excitement at the 13th Annual Belleville Downtown DocFest from February 23 to 28, 2024!

With over 50 films showing both virtually and in-person in three venues, plus an epic celebration with an opening night gala that’s all about Carlos—the Santana documentary—the stage is set in Belleville for an amazing weekend.

An electric live concert with the sensational Javier Vazquez will kick off DocFest.

Films will light up the screens at the Empire Theatre, Belleville Public Library, and Pinnacle Playhouse from February 23rd to 25th.

But the fun doesn’t stop there—grab your popcorn for the complete virtual festival experience from February 25th to 28th, where you can enjoy the show from the comfort of your own couch.

Passes are flying off the shelves (and online carts), so snag yours now at the Belleville Public Library and online.

Each pass provides access to any of the in-person screenings with priority seating (pass holders are always seated first when they arrive 15 minutes before the screening).

“Rush seats” are available for $13 per ticket at the door, after all pass holders have been seated.

Rush seats for the Gala event are $50 at the door, however, seating is limited. The best way to guarantee a spot at the Gala event is to purchase a pass. 

Let the countdown to DocFest magic begin!
