Name: BuckSlam January Poetry Slam (#3.07)
Start: 2026-01-14T18:30:00-06:00
Location: Indeed Brewing Company (Minneapolis)

BuckSlam is the Twin Cities' only monthly poetry slam, and we're not slowing down in 2026! Over the past six months, dozens of talented, dedicated poets have graced our little stag(e), but there are only TWO MORE CHANCES to show us your stuff and qualify for grand slam finals. Sharpen your stanzas and rehearse your verses, because we can't wait to hear your poems! At BuckSlam, up to twelve performers duke it out in a two-round battle of poetry for a chance to win ONE ENTIRE DOLLAR** and a shot at the crown. So grab a buck, grab a buddy, grab a beverage, and come experience some original poetry at 6:30pm at Indeed Brewing Company on Wednesday, January 14th. Herd that!
