Mad Poets Bonfire


The Mad Poets Bonfire is just around the corner! This long-standing Mad Poets tradition will include a large open reading, wire-walking, a workshop, snacks, camping, and more.

People start arriving at around 4:00, there will be a performance by wirewalkers at 4:30, followed by a fun, generative poetry workshop at about 5:30. Then, as the sun goes down, we light the fire! Come ready to share your work, all while making memories and building community.

Did you know that this is a camping event too? While you do not have to stay, you are welcome to bring your gear, pitch a tent, and join in the celebration overnight!

Note: There is absolutely no alcohol. This is not a children’s event.
