The City of Ocala, in partnership with the Marion County Public Library System, presents the first annual Art Park Literary & Poetry Festival, a brand-new addition to the Art Park Series! This free, family-friendly event invites the community to celebrate the power of language through literature, poetry, and the spoken word.
Attendees can enjoy live Open Mic poetry recitals, local and regional author showcases, food trucks, literary community vendors, non-profits, and art-making experiences for all ages. The first edition of the “My Place, My Story: Art Park Literary and Poetry Festival” book will be available for free at the event, featuring selected poems from participating poets. The book will also be available online for free through the Marion County Public Library’s Biblioboard system.
This free event will host live musical performances by Def-i and Küf Knotz & Christine Elise, as well as community performances by Friends of the Public Library and the Ocala Civic Theatre.
