Flypoet Summer Classic

The Flypoet Summer Classic returns to The Ford with an electrifying blend of spoken word, live music, and bold performance. The showcase brings together acclaimed poets and performers—including nationally recognized spoken-word artists and artists featured on major stages—for an evening where lyrical skill, storytelling, rhythm, and personality take center stage.

Adding to the excitement is a surprise celebrity musical guest backed by a live band, giving the night an unpredictable, celebratory energy. More than a traditional poetry reading, Flypoet turns spoken word into a full-scale live experience filled with music, artistry, and the unmistakable atmosphere of an outdoor summer performance.
