The Color Readings
Our ’26-’27 Poetry readings in collaboration with The Reading Series continues…
Break bread with us and share truth through poetry. Hear what’s on the minds of our community as poets take the mic and speak their truth aloud. Sign up for the open mic thirty minutes before each reading—or simply come listen, eat a pupusa or three, and stay for the live music.
The Color Readings happen every second Sunday at El Pueblo Center Courtyard. Free and all ages.
Curated and hosted by the incomparable Eva Sierra.
