Come one, come all. Step right up…and venture into the Nevermore Literary Carnival, where language comes alive and the words take center stage. Hosted by the Lexington Writer’s Room, in partnership with the Lexington Art League, this one-of-a-kind free Fourth Friday event invites you to explore an interactive world of literary fun—from crafting poems with magnetic words and blackout pages to clacking out your thoughts on vintage typewriters. Meet local writers and listen to them read, or step up to the open mic and deliver your own reading. Spin the Plot Twister prize wheel for a chance to win bookish goodies, gift cards, and other mysterious surprises. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just lit-curious, the Nevermore Carnival is open to all who believe in the magic of the written word.
Where: The Loudon House, 209 Castlewood Dr, Lexington, KY 40505
When: August 22nd, 2025 from 6-9pm, Open Mic at 7:30 p.m.
What: Come to write, come to read, come to listen, come to win. Live music by Paradocx. Daughter’s Southern Food Truck and West Sixth Brewing will be on site. Costumes welcome, but not required.
