FREE Folger programming all summer long!

Every other Saturday is all about family fun at the Folger. Folger Family Takeovers this summer will include hands-on activities, dance, poetry, and lots of energy.

Poets of all ages can learn the basics of various poetic forms in this interactive, drop-in workshop. Rotate through different stations where teaching artists will explore haiku, poetry in motion, nature poems, and more! You can also join us in the theatre for story times throughout the morning.

After the program, stay and enjoy our exhibition halls. Timed entry passes are recommended.
