History of Festival:

The festival was held at the former ROMP site from 2014-2016. From 2017-2019, the festival was held at Wonder City Coffee in downtown Locust Grove and was renamed Wonder City Wordfest.

IN 2022, the festival featured live music, a free food truck, poetry awards and more. It was a  fun day of poetry, music, fellowship, dancing and boogieing, making wordplay together and much more!

The 2020 WCW was cancelled due to the pandemic, and in 2021, instead of a traditional festival, we had a Poetry Treasure Hunt in Locust Grove. We had many participants and had a lot of fun.
