RexFest

Catch the electric energy of RexFest, a slam poetry competition that puts a spotlight on some of Toronto's most compelling young voices. Hosted by Lakeshore Arts and rooted in the Thistletown community, this two-day celebration of spoken word is equal parts performance art and neighbourhood pride. Come ready to be moved, surprised, and reminded just how much talent is thriving in the city's northwest corner. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
