The Fisher Poets Gathering is an annual event held on the last weekend of February in Astoria, Oregon, where men and women with ties to the fishing industry get together to share their poems, tales, and songs in celebration of the lifestyle and its people. Begun in 1998 with a small gathering of far-flung friends meeting in a pub and sharing their poetry, the FPG has greatly expanded and now attracts around 100 artists and up to a couple thousand audience members, filling multiple venues and spanning the entire weekend. Many performers are from Astoria or other parts of the Pacific Northwest, but performers have come from all over North America and abroad. The event is publicized by local newspaper The Astorian, and the evening performances are broadcast live by local public radio station KMUN.
