Mad Poets Festival

Sunday October 3. 2010
Noon to 5:00 p.m.
Media Borough Hall
Admission:  A non-perishable food item and/or canned good(s) to be donated to CityTeam Ministries of Chester, Pa.

Since 1987, we have proudly hosted the Mad Poets Festival on the first Sunday in October, in conjunction with the Media Food & Arts Festival (which packs State St. in downtown Media with a wide variety arts, crafts, live music, and fresh food).

The Mad Poets Festival features five hours of short readings (approx. 5 minutes) by 40 locally and nationally known poets, followed by a reception.

*The festival is a benefit for CityTeam Ministries!
Poets and attendees are asked to please bring a non-perishable food item and/or canned good(s) as your “ticket” for admission to the Mad Poets Festival.  All food will be donated to CityTeam Ministries, of Chester, Pa., which helps the poor and disadvantaged throughout the Delaware Valley by providing hot meals, safe shelter, decent clothing, and recovery programs.  In addition to the food drive, a representative from CityTeam will be dishing up warm & delicious chicken chili for a $1.00/cup donation.
