About this Event

Join us for a special Poetry & Performance Night at HAPPENING 2026—an intimate gathering created to celebrate the depth, vulnerability, and creative power of artists in our community. This evening invites poets, performers, and audiences into a shared space where stories are spoken, embodied, and witnessed.

Set in a warm and welcoming environment, the night will feature live poetry, spoken word, and performance pieces that explore personal narratives, collective memory, identity, and imagination. Whether on stage or in the audience, everyone becomes part of the experience—held in a space rooted in care, presence, and connection.

This is more than a performance night; it’s a moment to slow down, listen deeply, and honor artistic expression in its many forms. Come as you are, bring your openness, and join us in celebrating the voices that move, challenge, and inspire us.
