From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bardfest is an annual 30-day poetry festival begun in 1999 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA to celebrate National Poetry Month by having a poetry reading every day of the month of April. Created by stevenallenmay from the organization, BerksBards, BardFest has featured local and national poets including Billy Collins, Sonia Sanchez, Lamont Steptoe and Charles Bernstein. The poetry readings take place across the entire region at diverse venues, from colleges to coffehouses. Although no longer a 30-day festival, Bardfest occurs every April.
