To be announced

Your favourite spoken word event, Draw your (S)words is back, and this time, we’re swapping the stage for the yard. Join us on Friday December 6th, from 6 PM to 10 PM for another intimate evening of poetry, connection, and community. Switching up the vibe in a cozy backyard setting in Ascot Park. (Exact location will be shared with ticket purchase—it's all part of the charm!) This isn’t just another poetry night—it’s something special, a gathering of DYS fam, sharing stories, laughter, and connection as we wrap up the year. Bring your mates, your dates, or just yourself and soak in the beauty of a night that celebrates connection and creativity at a time when we need it most.

✨ Feature Artists

We’re thrilled to welcome the electrifying musician Jack Green (he/him) and the soul-stirring Nadia Patterson (they/he) to our mic. Their words will move you, inspire you, and leave you basking in the glow of their creativity.

🎤 Open Mic
