Imagine Music Festival is almost upon us. As one of the only remaining independent music festivals in the U.S., Imagine Fest is unlike any other. Though it markets itself as a music festival, activities include dancers, art, classes and circus troupes.
In past years, Imagine Fest took place at the Historic Fourth Ward Park and Masquerade Music Park, but it has already outgrown its old venues in its third year. It has moved to the Atlanta Motor Speedway, which encompasses 887 acres of land.
Last year, 26,000 people attended the festival, and this year, with a venue that can hold 100,000, the organizers expect attendance to at least double.
Aside from the new venue, Imagine Fest is also introducing on-site camping this year. If attendance increases as projected, it will be the largest three-day camping-music festival in the state of Georgia. Those interested can buy a camping pass, which allows use of the grass fields, large camping plots and shower and bathroom facilities.
It’s not too late to get passes to Imagine Fest 2016. The festival takes place from Aug. 26 to Aug. 28, though only one-day passes are available at this point.
Regardless, with the impressive lineup of musicians and other activities, this year’s Imagine Fest is not one to be missed.
