Dodge Poetry Festival

The Dodge Poetry Festival is back in downtown Newark from October 15 through October 17. NJPAC says the three-day festival will include seven simultaneous stages in a walkable downtown village, workshops, readings, a mixer and open mic, and a free outdoor Family Fun Day on Chambers Plaza. NJPAC lists the festival headquarters at 1 Center Street in Newark, with programming spread across NJPAC and nearby downtown venues. Festival passes are available through NJPAC, and special ticketed events such as Patti Smith and Def Poetry Reunion require separate tickets.
