United Against Hate Poetry Slam

  • Devil's Canyon Brewery 935 Washington Street San Carlos, CA, 94070 United States (map)

Join us for the third annual ‘Stand United Against Hate Poetry Slam’ to celebrate United Against Hate (UAH) week!

Deadline for poetry submissions has been extended to Fri, Nov 10!

Over the last two years, we had a handful of talented and brave community members bring their craft and whole selves onto stage to share their stories of what it means to stand united against hate. Check out the videos from 2021 .

This event will be held in collaboration with our friends at Devil’s Canyon Brewing Co.. People of all ages are welcome. There will be food trucks, live music and it’s a dog-friendly event!
