About Brides of Poe

Brides of Poe is an event of The Poe Project celebrating the life, works, and inspiration of Edgar Allan Poe. Dress in wedding attire--yours, someone else's, or you can borrow a dress from us (we have been collecting wedding dresses--see below).

Be one of the Brides in Poe's works, buried alive, dead, murdered with an ax, buried with a cat, be Poe's actual dead bride, or the woman in the poem he wrote for her--there are many choices.

Or, don't be a bride at all, just join us in a tux or simply your street clothes and enjoy the spectacle. We wouldn't turn you away if you dressed as the Mother of the Bride, either. 

Participate in a night-long Bingo game to be entered into a prize drawing at the end! 

See map, below, for all the stops.
