If you are going to print them from home, then the poster size is limited to what your printer can handle. You may want to consider taking the file to a commercial printer to have them made. Places like Kinko's, and other can handle that.
Meanwhile, there are dozens if applications in which you can design and layout your poster. At the upper end of the cost spectrum, pros use apps like QuarkXPress, InDesign and Pagemaker. You can also, easily use Adobe Illustrator and Corel for this purpose. I'm sure there are plenty of downloadable programs that some will suggest, but I wouldn't trust ANY downloads from sites I don't know.
One piece of advice I can offer is that you can design posters and flyers on a program you probably already have in your computer. Applications like Microsoft Word, or Works can do this just fine. The first thing you need to do is to open up a new document in the size you want to make your poster. You can put in text of any size and font and insert graphics.
A little creative thinking and you can put out something very nice for your event.

BTW - you have to sick them together at the edges.
