Mill City Speaks Poetry Slam @ Winterfest

Mill City Speaks celebrates Lowell Winterfest 2022 with our Merrimack Valley version of the internationally famous poetry slam competition. Local poets compete with original poems where judges put numbers to poetry as the poets compete for glory, money and more! All fun and games when friendly competition is involved. Following the poetry slam will be a Group Piece Showcase featuring collaborative, multi-voiced poetry performance. Plus an open mic for any and all readers! Open for anyone to sign-up and perform.

Participants will perform original works to be scored by guest judges. The poetry slam will be two rounds, where the accumulative scores of each poet will determine a winner. No props, no musical accompaniment. Just the performer, their voice, their body, and the mic.
