Join us for another exciting edition of our monthly poetry slam! Come out and enjoy a dynamic spoken word event featuring the area's best wordsmiths. See some of the most amazing poets compete for a cash prize. This will be an amazing night of art, truth, and storytelling. Each poet is guaranteed to bring their best to the stage. These performances will be spectacular. This is how poets qualify for an invitation to our finals in January where we decide on our 2026 Bull City Slam Team. That team will compete in the 2026 Southern Fried Poetry Slam Festival, the largest poetry slam in the country! Don't miss it!

All poetry shared must be original.

The Jambalaya Soul Slam is the Triangle’s longest running poetry event!
