Poets, storytellers, spoken word artists, and writers of all experience levels are invited to take the mic during CliftonFest's Spoken Word Open Mic. Whether you're performing original poetry, sharing a personal story, or trying spoken word for the first time, we welcome voices that inspire, challenge, entertain, and connect our community. This informal showcase celebrates creativity in all its forms and offers a supportive space for multiple performers to share their work with festivalgoers.
