Attending the FisherPoets Gathering
|
|
Everyone's welcome to join us. A $20 event button gets you into all FisherPoets Gathering venues and workshops all weekend. The week of the Gathering, buttons are available in downtown Astoria:
During the Gathering, the buttons are also available:
We're grateful to Port Town Property Management for arranging space for this year's pop-up Gearshack where you'll find fisherpoets' books, art and music for sale. Have a look at the Silent Auction while you're there and make a bid on something that strikes your fancy. Fans and performers all agree to abide by each venue's covid protocol. Masks will be available at venue doors. In consideration of others please mask up in crowds. Verify you're covid negative before you come and stay home if you feel sick. Parents with children might like to know that, though we don't have activities specifically for youngsters, those who come seem to enjoy themselves. Saturday special events that children might enjoy include the knot tying workshop at Pier 39 and the singers' circle that follows. Late Saturday night stick around for the On-Site Poetry Contest. Youngsters have won that one. The Liberty Theatre, the Columbian Theater, and the Ten Fifteen Theater welcome minors all evening, Astoria Brewing Company and KALA until 9 p.m. Audiences aren't always hushed. Don't worry too much about making anyone sit still. We ask evening presenters not to use gratuitous vulgar language but sometimes we're unpleasantly surprised. People 18 years old and younger are admitted free. |
