Haiku Newton: A Celebration of Winning Poems

Every year, Spark Newton shares the joy of poetry throughout the city with Haiku Newton, a public art initiative. Join us as we honor this year’s winning poets with a special community reading.

Celebrate the ancient Japanese art of haiku with an evening of creativity, reflection, and connection. Hear the voices behind the poems that appear on decorative lawn signs across Newton—capturing moments of wonder, transition, and everyday beauty.

Haiku Newton is a Spark Newton signature event and part of the Linda Plaut Festival of the Arts, in collaboration with the City of Newton.

All ages are welcome to listen, applaud, and be inspired.
