The Poetry Center San Jose is taking the weekend to celebrate the city’s diverse ethnic and cultural heritage with their fourth annual San Jose Poetry Festival. The two-day event will be split into a day of performances and a day of workshops. Saturday will consist of readings and performances by local talent all day, along with a shorter press event until 5. Sunday will feature a slew of writing workshops organized around different themes. Day one visitors will also get the chance to try out some East African-inspired Somali entrees served by Safari Kitchen.
