About The Festival

The International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards returns to Baltimore the weekend of October 8 & 9, 2022! 2022 will see the return of in-person stage, vendors and tours, all proceeds to benefit The Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum in Baltimore. Of course, our soul from out pandemic’s shadow has not yet lifted, so expect both virtual and in-person program announcements as we proceed this year. Our aim is to make this death commemoration as lively (and safe!) as possible.
