2024 NorthBeast Regional Poetry Slam & Festival

On July 20th & 21st, 2024, representatives from poetry venues across New England and beyond will be competing in the 2nd Annual NorthBeast Regional at the Cambridge Foundry! This two-day poetry slam and festival will feature compelling spoken word competitions, workshops, readings, and literary-themed community tables. But above all, the event will act as an opportunity to build and strengthen our community. This year will feature 16 teams, double the amount we had in 2023! Want to support local poets, or even put your name in for a chance at judging? Join us this weekend at the Foundry! All-access passes are $25, and a ticket to the Slam Finals only is $10. Reduced pricing is also available if you would like to judge one of the slams. Don't miss one of the biggest performance poetry weekends in the New England area!
