From January 5 – 7, 2024, the New Bedford Whaling Museum will host one of the world’s best known readings of Herman Melville’s iconic American novel, Moby-Dick.
The Moby-Dick Marathon features the main 25-hour read-a-thon from Saturday to Sunday, interspersed with fun Melville-inspired activities, including opportunities to chat with the scholars from the Melville Society Cultural Project (MSCP), a live performance of Chapter 40 by Culture*Park, and much more.
Each year hundreds of people from across the country sign up for a chance to be one of our Moby-Dick Marathon readers.
Will YOU be one of them this year?
Whether you’re a seasoned sailor of the literary seas or a first-time reader, the Moby-Dick Marathon offers a unique and inclusive experience for all.
Sign-up closes on November 1st. Readers will be chosen at random and those selected or waitlisted will be notified by email on November 10.
