Poetry at the Pier: A Night of Spoken Word and Open Mic

Friday
April 4
2025
Location: Cherry Street Pier
Time: 5 pm - 7 pm

Join us at Cherry Street Pier on April 4 from 5 pm—7 pm for an evening of poetry, community, and creative expression. Featuring a dynamic lineup of poets sharing their work against the stunning backdrop of the Delaware River, this event will encourage conversation, reflection, and inspiration.

After the reading, the mic is yours—step up and share your words, whether raw or refined. The open mic portion is first come, first serve. Whether you’re a seasoned poet or just looking to listen, all are welcome in this space of language and connection.

However, many great ways to access the Waterfront include walking and biking along the Delaware River Trail, rideshare, and public transit.
