The First Wednesday is the First!

Extra-special extravaganza!

Mill City Speaks Poetry Slam Team FINALS!

We will choose our slam team for 2023 in a no-holds barred metaphorical mash-up featuring the winners from our monthly slam series which started in the Fall of 2022.

Only the best of the best will compete for glory — and cash prizes — in our Lowell, Massachusetts version of the internationally famous poetry slam!

Special Guest Host: Ryk McIntyre

Preceded by, of course, our unsurpassed, unparalleled, unrivaled UNTITLED OPEN MIC!

Bring your own musings, sketches, songwriting or whatever to share with our listening community.

Hosted at Coffee and Cotton at Mill No. 5. Located in a historic downtown textile building, Mill No. 5 is a destination into what Lowell is; home to independent shops, The Luna Theatre, the Farm Market, and Coffee and Cotton. Coffee and Cotton is the heart of the building, serving up coffee, espresso, and lattes, wine, local craft beer, delicious, made to order, locally sourced options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is also a venue for live music, game nights, community events, and now our Untitled Open Mic.
