Moby-Dick Marathon Reading
A beloved semi-annual mainstay! The highlight? Numerous readers from near and far, reading assigned portions from Melville’s novel in its entirety over several days to delighted audiences seated near the Rose Dorothea schooner.
2026 Moby-Dick Marathon is scheduled for:
Friday, April 24: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Saturday, April 25: 10:00 am to 10:00 pm Sunday, April 26: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
We need readers! Please email Amy at ptownmobymarathon@gmail.com to sign-up to be a reader. After you are registered for a date & time you will be emailed a pdf of the pages you will be reading.
Please note: Each reader is given an arrival time which is not the same time you will be reading. Because every reader reads at a different pace, we ask everyone to arrive a bit before their actual reading time, so you are ready to go!
