Events Woodstock 2024 Poetry Festival

Date

This event has no more occurrences

June 21-22, 2024  Woodstock, VT

The Festival will be Vermont’s largest poetry gathering in 2024.  Meet over a dozen of the country’s highly recognized poets, greet other poetry lovers, and enjoy the beauty of Woodstock. All events of the festival are free and open to all.

We especially invite those who are new to or returning to poetry.  

Woodstock has hosted over 75 poets in the past 15 years, including winners of all major poetry awards including the Nobel Prize for Poetry.  The festival will be held in a beautiful 1835-built North Chapel, one of the most prized venues in Vermont for poetry events.

Given the fact that there are more poets per capita in Vermont than any other state, as well as a poetic tradition that began with Robert Frost almost a hundred years ago, it is only appropriate, as well as natural, for Vermont to host a poetry festival that celebrates its august poetic tradition with a group reading of some of America’s most eminent poets.
