National Baseball Poetry Festival

Home of the Worcester Red Sox and hometown of Ernest Thayer, author of “Casey at the Bat,” for a national gathering of Baseball fans and Poetry lovers from all walks of life!

Baseball—the “National Pastime”—is the American sport most represented in the arts.  The National Baseball Poetry Festival aims to unite Baseball—one of our great cultural common denominators—and Poetry—the world’s oldest art form—in a unique and wonderful celebration of both.  This year the Festival takes place the first weekend after National Poetry Month!
