The annual Belfast Poetry Festival returns for its sixteenth year on Saturday, October 16th, 2021, celebrating poetry, community, and artistic possibility. An all-arts festival with poetry as the driving force, this year's event combines variety show, art exhibit, and literary showcase. The evening showcase is free and open to the public.
The Belfast Poetry Festival, one of the few community-based, non-academic poetry festivals in the United States, is possible thanks to support from The Maine Review, First National Bank, the City of Belfast, the Belfast Free Library, and the office of the Belfast Poet Laureate. For more information on this year's event, the Maine Postmark Poetry Contest, or other programming produced by the Belfast Poetry Festival, contact Jacob Fricke or see our facebook page.
