Event Description

Having something to say, having a story to tell, having the courage to stand up and express yourself: this is what the Greenfield Annual Word Festival (GAWF) is all about. Here in Greenfield, MA, the festival gives visitors and local audiences a chance to enjoy words crafted by poets, spoken word artists, and writers from near and far.

 

GAWF presents young and old writers, from those just finding their voice to well seasoned authors who have published many books, won awards, been on tours, and make their living from their craft of writing and performing. The festival benefits the Literacy Project, which promotes free adult  literacy and GED classes in five locations throughout western Massachusetts.

In 16 venues in downtown Greenfield, festival attendees can attend more than 100 reading slots with New England poets.

The festival happens concurrently with the Fourth Brick + Mortar International Video Festival, making for a culturally abundant weekend in Greenfield, MA.
