BELFAST — The 19th Annual Belfast Poetry Festival seeks creative proposals from poets, performers, artists, and workshop facilitators interested in participating in this year’s festival, which takes place Oct. 18 through 20 in downtown Belfast.

Founded in 2004, the Belfast Poetry Festival is an all-arts festival with poetry as the driving force, a feast of poetry, community and artistic possibility. For the 2024 festival, organizers are seeking proposals for poetry readings, performing arts experiences, collaborative multi-genre experiences, craft workshops, visual arts installations, circus arts, and other community-centered activities celebrating creative expression.
