La Palabra: Poetry Day of the Dead Celebration

Tuesday, October 28th at 7PM
Tulum Detroit – 3400 Bagley St, Detroit MI

La Palabra returns for a special Day of the Dead Celebration — an evening of words, rhythm, and remembrance. This gathering honors those who came before us through poetry, music, and community.

Hosted by We Are Culture Creators and Fiesta Vibes Detroit, the night will feature performances from:

• Reyespoetry – spoken word and host
• Barely Hispanic – poetry and performance
• DJ Badluck – soulful and Latin sounds

Enjoy libations by El Jimador Tequila and Jack Daniels, and authentic Mexican bites from El Rey Taqueria. Attendees are encouraged to sign up for the open mic, sharing their own words, dedications, or reflections in celebration of life and memory.

This edition will also feature a special highlight from Barbed Issue 13 — spotlighting writers whose work bridges heritage, loss, and the power of the spoken word.

Tickets:

• $15 — Food Sampler & Drink
• $20 — Food Sampler, Drink, & Chapbook

🕯️ Come dressed in color, bring your stories, and share in an evening where poetry meets remembrance — where La Palabra (the word) carries the spirit forward.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
