Our crowd estimate came in at nearly 2000 people over two days who attended the inaugural International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards and made our event a resounding success! Two days of music, food, vendors, artists and booksellers, with performances and programming that took place in the shadow of The Edgar Allan Poe House in Baltimore. It was a wonderful event, and we wish to thank all the attendees, sponsors, and volunteers!

Couldn’t be there? Take a scroll through our photo gallery–this is the first batch of official photos from festival weekend! #PoeFestInternational2018 (Photos Kathryn Dulny,  and Poe Baltimore.)

Pardon us as we close Poe House early today for a special event! The International Edgar Allan Poe Festival is this weekend, and tents and trucks are moving in at Poe House to get the festival grounds ready. We will be closed to visitors at 1PM, Friday October 5.

We hope you return tomorrow for the festival! We re-open Saturday, October 6, at 11AM!
