For its twenty-fifth anniversary, Lunada Literary Lounge shifts from its traditional full-moon gatherings to three seasonal events held under the new moon, culminating October 10, 2026. Bringing together spoken word, poetry, music, and literature, the series considers the new moon as a metaphor for renewal, possibility, and collective reorientation. In a period of social instability, these gatherings position artistic exchange as a space for community care and regeneration.
