All events without cost!

Come join us...listen, laugh, learn, and enjoy!

Music and graphic shows will be part of the proceedings, so this year the Poetry Tent will be at the Pop Shop's newly opened Party Room on Washington Avenue, just 40 feet from Haddon Avenue, right near where the Poetry Tent is usually set up.

One thing is for sure
No one will bore
