Hot Springs Poetry Fest
What to know
Join us for the Hot Springs Poetry Fest, a week-long celebration of community, craft, and the legacy of local poetry! Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of verse with a jam-packed schedule of readings, workshops, open mics, and performances.
Experience our unique Poetry Crawl through downtown Hot Springs, grab a handcrafted zine from a local artist, and stick around for exciting giveaways and prizes.
We'll be honoring Arkansas's rich poetic history, paying tribute to legendary voices like C.D. Wright, Frank Stanford, Bud Kenny, Matt Henriksen, besmilr brigham, Henry Dumas, and many more who have shaped the literary landscape of our state.
Whether you're a seasoned poet or just love to listen, there's something for everyone. We can't wait to see you there!
