Once upon a midnight dreary…

Step into the shadows of Fells Point for an evening inspired by Baltimore’s master of the macabre. Edgar Allan Poe Night at The Point brings together ghost stories, tarot readings, Poe-inspired cocktails, literary competition, and Baltimore history for one haunting night in the neighborhood where Poe was last seen alive.

Whether you’re a lifelong Poe reader, fascinated by Baltimore’s haunted history, or looking for a unique way to kick off spooky season, join us Friday, September 25 for an evening where literature, history, cocktails, and the supernatural collide.

Come for the cocktails. Stay for the stories. And whatever you do… don’t listen too closely for a heartbeat beneath the floorboards.

👻 GHOST STORIES & POE LORE

Baltimore has no shortage of ghost stories—and neither does Edgar Allan Poe.

As darkness falls, settle in for live ghost storytelling featuring eerie tales, local legends, Poe lore, Baltimore history, and stories of things that may still be lingering long after they should have disappeared.

Dim lights. Strong drinks. Strange stories. You get the idea.

🔮 TAROT CARD READINGS

Curious what the cards have to say?

Visit our tarot card reader throughout the evening for a glimpse beyond the veil. Ask about love, your future, the path ahead—or perhaps something a little darker.

Just remember: you asked the cards.

🍸 POE-INSPIRED COCKTAILS

It wouldn’t be a night dedicated to Poe without a few spirits.

The bar will feature an exclusive menu of Edgar Allan Poe-inspired cocktails created for the evening, drawing inspiration from Poe’s stories, characters, and beautifully dark imagination—including The Black Cat.

Expect cocktails worthy of midnight toasts, mysterious encounters, and questionable decisions.

✒️ SHORT STORY CONTEST

Think you could make Poe proud?

Additional contest rules and submission details will be shared with attendees.

🐦‍⬛ COME FOR THE POE. STAY FOR THE PARANORMAL.

Dress for the occasion if you dare. Gothic, Victorian, dark academia, witchy, literary, and spooky-season attire are highly encouraged, but never required.

Grab your fellow lovers of literature, ghosts, cocktails, tarot, Baltimore history, and all things strange and unusual for an evening unlike your typical night out in Fells Point.

Baltimore and Edgar Allan Poe have been intertwined for nearly two centuries. On September 25, we’re bringing his world back to life in Fells Point, where Poe was last seen alive.

Or at least… we hope that’s all we’re bringing back.

Space is limited. Reserve your spot for Edgar Allan Poe Night at The Point in Fells.

Quoth the Raven… see you there. 🐦‍⬛🕯️
