What started with a group of poets at Open Mic Poetry at the Blue Dahlia Coffee and Gift Shop in Canandaigua has grown!  Grown so much that we started thinking about a Poetry Festival that will be free to the public!

Poets and music on stage at the Commons brought to you by several downtown merchants and friends of the Poetry Festival. 

Join us for the 2nd annual Canandaigua Poetry Festival!  See you there.

Thank you to these Sponsors:
