The third annual San Diego PoeFest, will be held this year online, streaming Oct. 23 to Nov. 1. PoeFest is produced by Write Out Loud in partnership with Save Our Heritage Organisation. PoeFest has quickly become a San Diego favorite Halloween adventure. Everybody loves the wonderfully chilling stories of Poe. And there are so many authors to explore that have followed in his footsteps, said PoeFest artistic director Veronica Murphy. Virtual is our only option for storytelling now, so we are embracing the challenge of capturing a phantasmic theatrical experience on video. We’ve recreated the atmosphere, filming by candlelight in the Historic Adobe Chapel in Old Town.

One of the great Virtual October events from Old Town this year! Experience POEFEST!

Today on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the Indigenous people who call California home and who have survived and thrived in the face of unimaginable challenges to shape California’s past, present and future. California State Parks is inspired to work towards better representation of Indigenous peoples' history and persistence.
