About this event

The Southern Fried Poetry Slam is an annual performing arts festival and competition celebrating poetry, spoken word, and community outreach. Born in 1993 from a sense of family, home cooked meals and good ol’ Southern food, Southern Fried Poetry shares the absolute best southern offerings — hospitality, comfort and tradition.

During the first week of June every year, a city in the Southeastern region of the United States plays host to one of the largest Spoken Word and Performance Poetry tournaments in the world and showcases some of the world’s most extraordinary writers, orators and artists whose talents will be on full display as they compete against 200+ poets for cash and prizes, and of course bragging rights to the South.

Pompano Beach will host on June 12-15 the festival with workshops and slam competitions throughout all our cultural venues. Check out our agenda below and get your tickets today!
