Haiku Society of America Meetings

Haiku Society of America meetings are held quarterly at various locations throughout the U. S. One quarterly meeting is always held in New York City and the third meeting of the year is designated as the Annual Meeting. Some of the HSA Regions hold meetings as well. The HSA also supports other local, national and international haiku activities.

The locations, times, and programs for the Quarterly Meetings appear in the HSA Newsletter and on this page of the HSA Web site. Announcements and details of HSA regional meetings appear in the HSA Newsletter and on the HSA Web site (see HSA Regional Announcements). Inquiries regarding regional meetings can also be addressed to the appropriate Regional Coordinator. Dates, times and locations are subject to change. Please verify your travel plans with the coordinator for each quarterly meeting.
