First Fridays
The reading series usually takes place upstairs at the Ragged Edge Coffeehouse (110 Chambersburg street in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania) at 7:00pm on the First Friday of the month. We take a break in July and August.
We start with an open mic followed by the featured poet. Readings are open to the public. For safety we have held most readings online or on the Ragged Edge patio this past year. Watch the Ragged Edge Facebook page for the link a couple of days before each reading.
