From the organizing body that brings you the Berkeley Slam and the Oakland Slam, RichOak Events presents a new poetry show in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District. In partnership with Medicine for Nightmares, the Day Dreamer’s Poetry Showcase is a spoken word event where voices that have often been silenced or overlooked have a chance to shine.

Join us every 2nd Saturday in the Galleria as we invite local and traveling poets to shape and nurture the very dreams we as poets refuse to let die.

Every month, we will be bringing featuring poets from all walks of life to inspire our audience with beauty of story telling and the alchemy of word play. This month’s feature is Papi Grande.

Bio: Bare witness to the mighty quest of Papi Grande, an adventurer with a heart set on conquering every challenge that dares to cross his path. His passion for poetry has led him to the stages of over a hundred open mics in a mere year, and his artistry has earned him a cherished spot among the Berkeley Poetry Slam Team of 2023. Basking in the light of his success, he went on to secure the bronze medal at the 2023 Bigfoot Regional Poetry Slam festival in the mystical land of Portland, Oregon. With every performance, Papi Grande transcends his former self weaving new spells of wonder and enchantment that leave the audience yearning for more. The whispers of his magic have spread far and wide for those who have witnessed his artistry once are forever bewitched, eager to witness his next grande spectacle. And so, it is with a great delight that we invite you to follow him on his journey, to support his poetry and music at Papi Grande’s abode in every corner of the realm.
