When
2 to 4 October 2026, Fri 11am to Sun 4pm

Three days of books, music, art and performance, with the street festival free on the Saturday and Sunday. It is at Lexington Market, not the Poe House on Amity Street, whatever an older listing says. Tours inside the Poe House, the exhibits, lectures and some performances need a ticket or a festival pass, at Westminster Hall, Carroll Mansion and the France-Merrick as well as the market.

Read off Poe Baltimore's own festival page for the dates, the Friday 11am to Sunday 4pm span, the Lexington Market plaza and the free street festival, read Sep 25, 2026; the festival's own programme for the main stage acts, read Sep 29, 2026.
