As we look ahead to 2026, READINGS AT PARKSIDE would like to take a moment to celebrate and express our gratitude for the amazing community of artists, writers, thinkers, publishers & booksellers who make everything possible — as well as all the Parkside proprietors (I love you), bartenders, sound and lighting techs, people spreading the word, friends helping out, people supporting, people creating community, people getting us through — and every single person who came to a reading, or multiple readings, or who hopes to in the future. We have had an unbelievable year and this was only possible through your support! We have so much stellar programming that we hope to manifest in 2026 — your support will help make this possible. We are so grateful to the Fire Island Artist residency (FIAR) for their continued fiscal sponsorship!
