CIMA will be returning to The New Colossus Festival in New York City from March 8-13, 2023! The festival features over 100 artists and bands at various venues across the Lower East Side of Manhattan. This year CIMA has partnered with M for Montreal to present the “Canada Block Party” on Thursday, March 9, a networking mixer followed by a full evening of showcases featuring incredible artists from across the country.
The Canada Block Party will kick off with the “Bloody Caesar Mixer” from 5:00PM-7:00PM at Arlene’s Grocery and will lead straight into the showcases. CIMA will present artists on the Pianos Stage while M for Montreal will present artists on the Arlene’s Grocery stage right next door. Delegates and industry will be able to jump back and forth between venues to catch the 12 showcasing artists on alternating stages throughout the night.
