Close out the 2025 Festival with us!

We will welcome the evening at Markham House with snacks and beverages. No readings, no workshops, nothing planned. Maybe we’ll play some tunes, maybe we’ll sit on the porch. A little conversation and decompression. We’ll see where the evening takes us!

Parking will be available for $6 in the Kelly Park Parking Lot at 1650 Senter Road.
