Wonder City Wordfest is an annual celebration of poetry and community that began in 2014 as the Rural Oklahoma Museum of Poetry’s ROMPfest. The day includes a variety of ways for people of all ages to stretch their creativity and be inspired by the beauty, joy and value of words, poetry, and community.
we will celebrate the winners of the Oklahoma Poem Contest, dance to live music, conduct a kite-decorating and flying contest, enjoy the massive kites and skill of Tom Wallbank from the Tulsa Wind Riders, have several impromptu poetry contests with prizes, have free food, do some martial arts demonstrations, and enjoy tours of the current DEAR CRYPTID exhibit. COME JOIN US! All are welcome!
