Poetry Jam

A soul-stirring musical poetry show designed to honor culture, creativity, and community during the powerful backdrop of MLK Weekend. Set at the iconic Historic Ali Cultural Arts Center, this immersive experience invites guests to step into a night of elegance, expression, and electric artistry — all in all-black attire.

Doors open at 2:00 PM as guests arrive to the sound of live music, curated vibes, and the aroma of local flavor from on-site food trucks and drink vendors. Outdoor bleacher seating lines the off-street curve, creating an intimate atmosphere that feels like a block party meets the arts. At 3:30 PM, the show ignites with world-class spoken word, musical fusion, and interactive moments, led by dynamic hosts Devery Broox and Sarahca Peterson, with a crowd-moving soundtrack to end the final hour, powered by a featured DJ, SCO.
