Nuyorican Poets Cafe Grand Slam 2025

The Nuyorican Poets Cafe presents the Grand Slam of 2025 a spoken word extravaganza co-hosted by Paul con Queso and Matthew Marroquín with sounds by DJ Luna Rosa. After 12 months of weekly slam winners competing every Final Friday, the time has come for one poet to be named the Grand Slam Champion of 2025 winning $1,000, a produced show in our renovated building, and potential spot on our 2026 national slam team. The Nuyorican Poets Cafe is a nonprofit organization rooted in the legacy of spoken word truth-telling. Founded by Puerto Rican/Afro-Caribbean poets and visionaries, we honor this sacred history by creating an accessible forum for developing poetic, theatrical, musical, and visual/media works in the spirit of experimentalism and downtown NYC subcultures. Since closing our building for a major renovation, we have taken our programs offsite at different locations throughout NYC, the country, and the world. We are happy to bring the 2025 Grand Slam back to The Apollo Stages.
