The culmination of three days of fierce competition, the Chicharra Poetry Slam Festival Champions Stage brings together the nation’s top poets for one unforgettable night.

After a series of intense preliminary bouts, 80 elite poets have narrowed to four individual finalists and four teams, all competing for a Southwest regional championship title and their share of $5000 in prizes. This is where everything is on the line — precision, power, vulnerability, and voice.

Expect high-impact performances ranging from intimate lyric moments to searing social commentary, delivered with the urgency and electricity that only live poetry can generate. This is not a reading, it’s a reckoning.

Doors open early for community connection, snacks, and a curated selection of local and national vendors.

The Santa Fe International Literary Festival, taking place May 15–17, 2026, brings together world-renowned authors, thinkers, and readers to celebrate the power of story in a city known for its beauty, history, and artistic inspiration. The Festival believes in the power of story as an invitation to learn about ourselves and others—and to create extraordinary change. Each year we celebrate the deep literary history of Santa Fe and New Mexico and our diverse community of writers, creating opportunities to foster a love of storytelling, both during the Festival and beyond.
