Release Open Mic National Poetry Month Showcase

Celebrate National Poetry Month with an immersive night of creativity, culture, and connection at The Strand in Northeast DC.

This special Showcase experience brings together poets, performers, and community for an evening centered around expression and storytelling. Whether you’re stepping up to the mic or taking it all in, this is a space designed to uplift voices and build energy through art.

Alongside the performances, we’re hosting a poetry book fair, featuring self-published and published authors sharing, selling, and connecting through their work. It’s an opportunity to discover new voices, support local creatives, and engage with the literary community in a real way.

Hosted by PoeticSoul with sounds by DJ ART.is, the night blends live performance with curated vibes to create an experience that feels intentional, welcoming, and unforgettable.

Come ready to engage, support, and be inspired.
