Lemon Pepper Poetry Slam presents the 2026 All-Star Poetry Slam

IT’S THE MOMENT YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR! On Friday, January 23rd, Lemon Pepper Poetry Slam invites the best of the best to show off what they’ve got in our first-ever ALL-STAR POETRY SLAM! Up to 12 poets compete in a classic, 3-round, elimination-style wordfest where the winner receives cash and is crowned Season 3 Lemon Pepper Poetry Slam Champion. 

It’s a one-of-a-kind showdown where artists are encouraged to bring their best works and go for the gold, as our usual first place cash prize is DOUBLED! Plus games, prizes, special performances, and more.

As an added challenge, registration for this slam is limited to the following (until all 12 spots have been taken):

• Dec 21 - Jan 2: Season 3 FINALISTS may register for FREE
• Jan 3 - Jan 9: Any poets who competed Feb. 2025-Dec. 2025 may register for FREE
• Jan 10 - Jan 23: Open registration ($5 cover)

Join us for a night of metaphors, mayhem, magic, and more. Doors open at 7 PM at The Spot @ SoMa.
