Polar Fest 2022 was our inaugural ‘Polartry Poetry Walk’, and Summer 2022 was our first 'Flowerpot Poetry Walk' - and they were a lovely addition to our public spaces. We hope to continue and potentially expand the two seasonal poetry walks as a way to inspire, celebrate, and promote poets of all ages, while also providing outdoor public art to encourage people to get out and make the most of both
winter and summer in our beautiful community in Minnesota. Full disclosure: We have plans to have a year-round Detroit Lakes Poetry Walk as a public art installation in the near future. But we decided, rather than wait for all the working pieces of that project to come together, we would launch the ‘Polartry Poetry Walk’ and 'Flowerpot Poetry Walk' as temporary public art installations and a fun way to introduce the concept and build excitement for public poetry in the community.
