Tickets are now LIVE for the third annual Midwest Poetry Mash-Up on April 25th and 26th at Open Book in Minneapolis! The Mash-Up is a 10-team poetry slam tournament featuring over 50 poets from all over the country (and beyond!) as they compete for the title of Midwest Poetry Mash-Up Champion. We’re going BIG this year: larger venue, twice as many teams than we had in 2023, more opportunities for you to cheer on your favorite poets (or decide their fate should you be lucky enough to judge), and CHEAPER tickets than ever before! Get yours today so you can watch these amazing poets compete for fame, glory, and a cash-prize over two days and 5 jam-packed bouts! Single event tickets* and full weekend passes available at midwestpoetrymashup.com.

*Please note that tickets are divided into individual bouts (events) and make sure you select a ticket for the specific bout(s) you want to attend. If you want to attend all events, purchase a full weekend pass. Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
