Help Us Bring Cowboy Poetry to Ferndale in 2027

An Emerging Summer Event on California’s North Coast

Produced by the Western Folklife Center and the Humboldt County Fairgrounds, featuring artists from the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering

You know the artists from the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. Now imagine them alongside farmers, fishermen, foresters, and foragers, in the heart of Humboldt County. That's the idea behind Graziers, Growers, and Gatherers, and we want to know if it's an idea worth making real. Poetry, music, storytelling, art, craft, food, dancing, and community, all rooted in the working lands and creative traditions of the American West. We're exploring bringing it to Ferndale in 2027, and your interest helps make the case.
