A Toast to Mom: Poems & Pints A Salish Sea Poetry Festival Fundraiser

Celebrate Mom at Structures Brewing (Old Town) on Sunday, May 10th from 12pm–3pm! Bring the kids and treat her to an afternoon of good food and brews, laid-back Bellingham vibes, and something truly special: poetry composed just for her by celebrated local poets with their trusty typewriters.  Listen to live music, paint a rock for Mom’s garden, and enter our raffle to win a beautiful garden poetry pole. Open to the public, this fundraiser for the Salish Sea Poetry Festival is an ode to all those with a mothering soul.

The Salish Sea Poetry Festival brings poetry to the people through poetry crawls, public art, theatrical collaborations, and streetcorner readings. A program under the nonprofit Whatcom Poetry Series, the festival has events year-round and culminates in a celebration of poetry throughout Whatcom County the second weekend each November. Keeping the majority of these events free and open to the public is our mission– hence the fundraiser!

COST: $15/poem; $5/raffle ticket
