Ball & Socket Arts is thrilled to announce the return of Poetry Night to Live @ the Factory 2025 with headliners: Luisa Caycedo-Kimura and Michael “Chief” Peterson.

We’ll kick things off with readings from these incredible poets, followed by an Open Mic where all are welcome to share a poem.

Bring your lawn chairs and a picnic dinner from one of our local restaurants for an evening of literary delights. A big thank you to Pat Mottola, Cheshire’s own Poet Laureate, for all her help planning this event.

Grab your spot and start your picnic at 5:30.

Music from 6-8 pm.

This event is produced by Ball & Socket Arts with support from our Literary Subcommittee.
