Fort Greene Park

Poetry in the Park, curated in partnership with<a href="https://najeeomar.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> Najee Omar</a>, is an annual community celebration where poetry, music, and creativity fill Fort Greene Park for an afternoon of connection and inspiration. Held in celebration of National Poetry Month, the festival invites neighbors from across Brooklyn to gather beneath the trees and open sky to listen, create, and share. Through performances, workshops, and spontaneous moments of expression, Poetry in the Park transforms the park into a welcoming space where stories are honored, voices are uplifted, and the power of art brings people together.
This year’s festival features powerful performances from acclaimed poets, a vibrant community open mic, and live DJ sets that keep the energy flowing throughout the day.&nbsp;
Guests can also jump into hands-on creative experiences, including bracelet-making, walking haikus through the park, and a mind, body, and soul reflection space for writing and grounding. Together, these offerings invite everyone to experience poetry as something alive, heard, created, and shared in community.&nbsp;
Free books will be provided by<a href="https://www.brooklynbookbodega.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> Brooklyn Book Bodega</a>. Additional poetry programming will be supported by<a href="https://www.bklynlibrary.org/locations/walt-whitman" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> Walt Whitman Library</a>. Attendees will also have a chance to win a $50 <a href="https://www.booksaremagic.net/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Books for Magic</a> gift card.&nbsp;Learn more about the artists and RSVP for free<a href="https://pro.gofundme.com/event/poetry-in-the-park-2026/e780327" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> here!</a>
