Poetry Festival

Returning for its third year, the Flower City Poetry Fest (previously “Poetry in the Bowl”) is an open-air, three-day celebration featuring award-winning poets and musicians with deep ties to New York State.

Immerse yourself in poetry and live music at Rochester’s incomparable outdoor amphitheater. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and settle in to absorb the lyrics of an exciting line-up of nationally renowned writers, beloved regional poets, and power-house local musicians. Stay to meet the poets and have copies of your books signed.
