Eleven local poets will be reading from their own works at locations scattered across the town. Times are scheduled for each poet from 1:00 to 3:30 pm.

There will be an evening of folk music at the church at 7:00 o’clock.

Sunday’s Poetry Café will feature national and international poetry award winner, Harry Thurston along with spoken word poet and social justice advocate, Ashley Avery. They will be joined by Bruce Graham, Richard Dittami, and Evange Landry will read works of Mi'kmaw poet, Rita Joe.
